Hi!

lircd was working fine, but then on my last reboot something happened and it 
stopped working.

**** Any ideas what it can be?  I would greatly appreciate your help.

I think it may be related to the device permissions, but I am not sure what 
they should be and, if this is the problem, what happened that the 
permissions got changed?  I did not [consciously] change them.

Hereīs part of my /var/log/messages:

Mar 22 22:47:24 mbox lircd 0.7.0[5865]: lircd(any) ready
Mar 22 22:47:24 mbox lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Mar 22 22:51:40 mbox lircd 0.7.0[5865]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Mar 22 22:51:40 mbox lircd 0.7.0[5865]: could not open /dev/lirc
Mar 22 22:51:40 mbox lircd 0.7.0[5865]: default_init(): No such device
Mar 22 22:51:40 mbox lircd 0.7.0[5865]: caught signal

and this is the file permissions for the lirc devices

# ll /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     5 Mar 18 18:59 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
c---------  1 root root 61, 0 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc0
c---------  1 root root 61, 1 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc1
c---------  1 root root 61, 2 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc2
c---------  1 root root 61, 3 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc3
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Mar 22 22:47 /dev/lircd

Hereīs my modprobe.conf file

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias tveeprom-ivtv tveeprom
alias msp3400-ivtv msp3400
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx 
&& /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

Using:

Fedora Core 2  (kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC2)
ivtv 0.2.0 (rc3g)
lirc 0.7.0
mythtv 0.17
EPIA M10000 mobo  (Fedora Core 3 does NOT recognize the video on this mobo, so 
I had to go with FC2)
PVR-350 (type 47 per ivtv)

Following Jarodīs instructions at wilsonet.com.
