OK, I've now started from scratch (don't ask) and now have the following message when I tail the syslog after plugging in the USBUIRT:

OK, so it seems the uhci usb type is specific to certain motherboards. I'm hoping to purchase a new board tomorrow anyway so could anyone offer suggetions as to a motherboard they have success with the USBUIRT in linux? Preferably a P4 with SATA - and not too expensive! If I can get this area sorted we might be able to identify issues with the driver.

Is there a patch available for lirc 8.0?

i followed the how-to

I had to remove --tag=CC several times from each Makefile and Makefile.in that I could locate in the subdirectories.

After removing these, the make process completed successfully.

However the "make install" failed with this

root@mythtvslave:/usr/src/lirc-0.7.1# make install
Making install in drivers

I did this

rm /dev/lirc

and then "make install" was successful.


I had previously installed lirc-0.8.0pre4-pvr150 with a packard bell serial receiver...

Should i have uninstalled lirc-0.8.0pre4-pvr150 first? how?

i repeated everything again

and the make install worked.

somewhere along the way i deleted

/dev/ttyUSB0

is this important?

[Guest]

I think it is hanging

[munza]

From memory, you need to make sure the lirc daemon (lircd) is not running in order to use the irrecord program.

I'm looking for this patch (long story short - kernel upgrade forcing rebuild) - but nvelds site is down. Seems his provider is going bankrupt.

Does anyone have an active link to patch?

I followed these directions to get it working, including the channel change..
Now recieve and send works, but not completely.

After booting, receive works great (i can navigate mythtv menus) but "iresend remotename 401" sends 444000111.

If I kill lircd and start it manually with lircd then it will send 401 as 401 changing my settop box. But now it seems to ignore my ir signal (doesn't receive or at least control myth navigation anymore)

Any ideas?
