- enolive - 2011-09-26 After reinstalling my ASRock with a minimal ubuntu system for XBMC I've encountered some problems dealing with lirc. It seems that ubuntu defaults now with a lirc configuration where lircd is disabled (START_LIRCD is set to false at hardware.conf) -- at least if I choose to cancel dpkg-configure of lirc when installing. Maybe you should mention to check if lircd is enabled in your guide RE: Getting the Asrock 330HT ir-receiver & remote to work with Ubuntu 11.04 (+XBMC) - Basic2004 - 2012-12-21 Ubuntu 11.10+12.04 working remote on Asrock ION 330 HT First setup LIRC with a basic configuration For a new install sudo apt-get install lircIf LIRC is already installed sudo dpkg-reconfigure lircRemote control configuration: Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all) IR transmitter, if present: None Change the default configuration to work with the Nuvoton remote sudo vi /etc/lirc/hardware.conf Change the following 3 lines REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)" REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev mceusb" REMOTE_DRIVER="" into this REMOTE="Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes" REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev nuvoton-cir" REMOTE_DRIVER="default" Restart LIRC to apply the changes sudo service lirc restart Works great on Linux Mint Debian Edition - lukaz1010 - 2013-01-17 (2011-05-16, 23:25)Novin Wrote: I have also given this a lot of trying but wasn't able to get it working good without LIRC.

Had problem with some buttons not being mapped correctly and also repeat was horrible. It's is pretty strange. I followed your guide bit by bit but couldn't get it to work. I tired time after time with same result. Then I put my remote away and borught at micro bluetooth keyboard. Today I was bored and picked up the remote again. When I ran "# dmesg | grep -i nuvoton" I got this output: Code: [ 11.056433] input: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiver as /devices/pnp0/00:04/rc/rc0/input2 Furtheremore the red light at the top of the remote blinked when I pressed on some buttons but no reaction on my media centre. Also "# irw" didn't got me any output at all despirte pressing the buttons and the top red light blinking along. Then I got this idea of pulling the batteries out and putting them back in again and now the remote fully works. Based on the remotes previous blinking action I don't see why this helped but I really feel like an idiot for not trying this sooner! P.S. I'm on Mythbuntu 12.04 with Mythtv 0.27. I also apply this tweak: http://pastebin.com/Nwje38mP UPDATE: It might not be the batteries that was the problem. When rebooting my HTPC the remote will not work again. "# irw" gives: Code: connect: Connection refused This seems strange to me and I need to debug it. It might have something to do with runlevels. Will restart tomorrow. Tried diffents things like changing the runlevel of lirc from 19 to 51 etc. without help and the thing that worked was to include service lirc restart in /etc/rc.local - I still consider this a hack and are tying to find a better solution.

Well. Even if I follow your guide I still have to put "service lirc restart" in /etc/rc.local to make the remote work at startup.
