<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>I have have been looking into using debian distros lately and I have found a common theme so far....I can't get lirc to work. My past experience is using ubuntu based distro's and the process to get lirc working:<br>
</div>1. Install lirc<br></div>2. Update hardware and lircd config files.<br></div>3. Add .lircrc file <br></div>4. reboot or restart lirc.<br></div>I used the same process with debian but lirc isn't working. I found out by accident that when I restarted lirc using sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart...that lirc fails on both stopping and restarting.<br>
</div>I found a work around in getting lirc to work while searching for an answer to the failure issue...<br>sudo /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/dev/lircd --driver=atilibusb<br></div><div>I start this after the computer is up and it continues to run until I reboot.<br>
</div>I could use the kernel driver and not worry about lirc but I have several of the same remote and I can set channel id's using lirc but not with the kernel driver, meaning if I use the kernel driver the remote in the livingroom with control every other frontend at the same time. The remotes are radio frequency.<br>
