<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'microsoft sans serif'"><font>Hello everyone<br><br>This is really driving me mad. <br><br>I'm doing a fresh install of 12.04LTS with a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' everything. At that point I install lirc and get it working fine. I have the right hardware.conf and I can see all the key presses working fine using irw. I'm using a Hauppauge PVR-150 card and the IR receiver/remote that comes with that. Everything is fine. All is good with the world. I can issue sudo service lirc restart and it works as expected. <br>
<br>Then randomly after a reboot everything stops. irw simply says connect: No such file or directory. If I try to do anything with lirc, either 'sudo service lirc stop' or 'sudo apt-get purge lirc' then the session hangs. Nothing. Even reboots start to hang. All I get is a message on the screen saying 'acpid: exiting Checking for running unattended-upgrades:'. <br>
<br>If I check the dmesg log I see a bunch of messages along the lines of:<br><br></font></span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial">Oct 28 22:13:32 borg kernel: [ 240.756452] INFO: task lirc:1316 blocked for more than 120 seconds.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

I've had remotes working fine on this machine before. For about 4 years this was my MythTV backend. I decided to upgrade a week ago and have been solidly stuck on this issue. I would greatly welcome any help anyone has. <br>
