I'm on a clean installation of Ubuntu 10.10 and trying to get my HD-PVR IR blaster to work. I have all the drivers compiled and loaded correctly. The problem is getting lirc to run. I;ve never used lirc before so I'm not even sure I know what it looks like when it works.<div>
<br></div><div>First problem I think is that /var/run/lirc is not created at boot time. It seems like it should be. I always have to mkdir it. </div><div><br></div><div>Second problem is that even after I create that directory, '/etc/init.d/lirc start' doesn't seem to do anything. There is no output and the lircd process doesn't start. I *can* do 'sudo lircd' and it starts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have an /etc/lirc0 node, but no other /dev/lirc* devices. Is that right? I keep seeing people talking about /dev/lircd but I don't have it, even when lircd is running.</div><div><br></div><div>I feel like I'm close but Googling isn't helping. Anyone know what I'm messing up? Thanks.</div>
