I got it working eventually. I'm not really sure how, but I was using this guide as a guideline:

Not that you did anything wrong or stupid and just to be clear, this is not aimed at you Subbeh.

I would simply like to point out YET ONCE AGAIN for the people that try to update XBMC and use
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

This is a prime example how you have a working system and now you're fucked. Scrambling to fix something that you broke on purpose.



Someone trying to update XBMC and actually UPGRADing the entire OS with UPGRADE would have also be affected in this way.

Actually mate thers no Asrock HT 330 IR drivers for that new kernel, so it HAS nothing to do with what you say, in this particular instance... Unless its not that machine but I may be wrong as I readit is clearly a few posts up....

You hitting the bottle so soon? FYI I beat you to it... Wink

I have sent nuvoton an email for the guy who maintains package.... may as well wait for the lottery.

that post will never work since the source that dkms requires is missing off of that....

I tried as well, but obviously failed... shame that whoever get to a working solution doesnt "know" or share exactly how....


Fix HT remote kernel (Guide for normal people) - X3lectric - 2010-12-04

Ok hers how to fix the lirc driver for the lucid releases past .25 kernel.

Install lirc-modules-source

http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/

download both .debs with wget and install with dpkg -i

1) upgrade kernel

2) dpkg -i the dkms file then dpkg -i the source reboot and walla.

3) dont remove the driver for the .25 kernel or it may not work, if you do reinstall it again and it will work just fine. in other words dpkg -i the asrock .25.deb

4) purge the .25 kernel so sytem is kept as lean as possible.

Tried that, but the source file on asrock.com does not seem compatible with this kernel version.

any tips or trick on howto compile a new version for 32-26?

Tried that, didnt work Sad

when using the live cd released on dec 2nd, the kernel version is already .26.


Fix asrock ht remote in all kernels (Guide for challenged minds) - X3lectric - 2010-12-05

If you find this guide helpful, please add to my positive forum reputation, with positive comment.

you can find this how to on my blog which is where they are updated or improved.

It took me a few days to come up with it and I think it deserves some recognition. (that's cause some ppl are ungrateful whatsits)

1) wget lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct677x-x64-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

2) dpkg -i nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb file

let the process run then

3) dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb

let process run

Bare in mind thers 32 bit and 64bit .25 debs. (dont worry about the it being for .25 kernel version, it works)

if you have 64 bit the the last step is

4a) dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-x64-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

if you have 32 bit the last step is

4b) dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

Your remote should work staright away without reboot BUT

If after this your remote dont work try

dpkg-reconfigure lirc
(you may need to run this several times untils theres no errors)

Always select nuvoton receivers and transceivers on first screen and none on second...

IMPORTANT
Please ensure you dont have PAE kernels...ONLY linux-image-generic x86 or x64 or 386 are compatible with the drivers.

DO NOT PM
me with support requests.

feel free to rep up.

Will try that asap!

MANY THX X3lectric, i installed the new RC2 on my ASROCK Ion330HT and now (with your help) my remote works fine. GREAT!


- Marvel - 2010-12-10

The lirc developer was re-writing the driver and adding it to lirc I wonder how far off completion he is?


- X3lectric - 2010-12-10

its done when its done.... why dont instead of asking here email the lirc guy? I can tell you that the least progress on that was 2 or more monthsa ago and its far from being over. I have posted a nice howto way around it for lucid/....

your welcome


- Marvel - 2010-12-11

My gosh your a lovely chap!


- X3lectric - 2010-12-11

thank you, In try to help and usually get the job done, but thers no pleasing every one... and sometimes Im wrong.

TIA
