[mythtv-users] ir-blaster and Suse 10.3

Are you trying to use lirc to control two devices like a remote and ir-blaster? I tried the guide you're trying on my previous distro with mythtv and I could never get it to work properly. I ended using this setup http://www.htpcug.com/lircsetup_com.htm and it worked on the previous distro and my current F8 controlling both my ir receiver and ir blaster.

Partway through boot (or if I try to 'modprobe ledxmit_serial') I see

HTPC:/home/mythtv # modprobe ledxmit_serial
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.conf.local line 6: ignoring bad line starting with 'below'
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.conf.local line 8: ignoring bad line starting with 'pre-install'

....so a halfhearted test of my script gets me

HTPC:/home/mythtv # /usr/local/bin/change_channel.sh 10
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such  file or directory

with the number of key presses called by the script clearly coinciding with the number of times those 2 errors repeat themselves (two, in this case).

Any Help?

TIA,

J
