ok my bad...

Just tested and step 3 extracts the files without creating a folder with the files... to confirm files are extracted you can do

ls -all

and you should see the files you need like e.g. so

Code:

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root     4096 2010-02-03 19:06 .

drwxr-xr-x 12 root root     4096 2010-02-01 10:13 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   235460 2010-01-29 05:56 IR(9.10).zip

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 62171637 2009-12-10 19:32 linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    19756 2010-01-21 21:59 lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    24712 2010-01-21 21:59 lirc-nct677x-src-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    20826 2010-01-22 01:23 lirc-nct677x-x64-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb

then run 5 through 8 though for me remote works without reboot

for some reason Jaunty previous distro unzip files creating a folder with files inside hence why cd (change directory) foldername

obviously if files are now extracted without folder this could account why it failed...

crap happens... Sad

further explanation

if by running ls -all and if files are outside folder like that then do as I explained if they for some odd reason are inside a folder you have to cd into that folder to run the dpkg -i cmd.

You can also run that command from anywhere without cd into folder but you have to do dpkg -i /usr/src/filename.deb or alternatively dpkg -i /usr/src/foldername/filename.deb

hope that clears up any issues with the how to for you.Let me know by posting outputs so if doesn't work we can try help.

Code:

modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0xa510

this is NOT availible in Jaunty, so we will have to use coretempl, the .ko file is there but the device is not found.

Code:

xbmc@XBMCLive:~/setup$ sudo modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0xa510

Warning: This might crash you computer.

Perhaps somebody using Jaunty might want to try forcing another chip, try another chip id and use it like this

Code:

modprobe w83627ehf force_id=xxxxxx

where xxxxx might be any of these:
0x8850
0x8860
0xa020

I don't have a Jaunty install, but other chip ids seem to work in karmic (less values reported, but otherwise ok).

- BoyBastos - 2010-02-04 11:51

monty, can you outline an install for karmic? thanks.

PS on my screenlet i have core temp monitored and its always between 53-62 C. i havent installed sensors yet this is from the screenlet app tho.

i am using a foxconn nt-3301 box same specs atom 330 Smile

@BoyBastos
Your temperatures seem about right, so you should probably not change anything. I guess you have another sensor chip on your mainboard or coretemp simply works for your setup, the instructions and discussions in this thread might apply to your setup, but the are mainly intended for the AsRock 330HT.
Are you on a fresh karmic install? Perhaps post the output of the sensors command or try running sensors-detect, if you really want to....

As for a full installation guide, you should probably check out the beginning of this thread and various other threads in this forum.

regards,
monty

Show us your "/etc/lirc/hardware.conf"

@BoyBastos
I meant after installing it like this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

then run:

Code:

sudo sensors-detect

Say "yes" to everything, and see if the program finds anything.
