I.e. upgrade your buggy (and ancient) libcec version to <br>> any other version (you have the one and only version that's broken--a <br>> version that was only current for 20 days, 1.6.2 was released on Apr 27, <br>> 2012 and 1.6.3 was released on May 17, 2012 specifically to fix the bug <br>> that's causing problems for you).<br>> <br>> http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11468#comment:1<br>> <br>> Mike<br>> _______________________________________________<br><br>Thanks Mike - I had completely missed that in my searching for a solution. I guess I probably stopped looking after I found the 'uninstall cec' solution because I have no cec devices.<br><br>But - how do I get a later version of libcec?<br><br>I did a quickfilter on 'cec' in the the synaptics package manager but the only version to list in there is libcec 1.6.2.<br><br>I manually uninstalled libcec from synaptics and then went to terminal and did an apt-get build-dep mythtv but it also only gives the same version of libcec as per below:<br><br>mark@mark-EP35-DS3:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv<br>Reading package lists...
