HP MCE Remote kit on Dharma Live - bostoneric - 2011-01-15 09:25

So I bought this remote kit off ebay.

[Image: 5356634600_9ae99836db_o.jpg]

figured it would just be prug n pray with Dharma Live on my Acer Revo 3610,
but I get nothing, no response at all.

I've found countless threads on setting up remotes but each seems to be totally different and very long.

opinions?

thanks!

Opinions? Yeah, nice remote Big Grin

But seriously, I have a the same problem with another remote - but as yet Im yet to find a solution due to the large amount of long/complex/conflicting/vague posts.

Doesnt help I know, just thought I would let you know I share your pain Smile

trying to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc"
returning command
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: lirc is broke or not fully installed

Confused?

any help?

ok removed the /etc/lirc directory and then reinstalled lirc again.

sudo apt-get install lirc

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
during reconfigure I picked Windows Media Center remotes /all
and for transceiver I selected none.

after reboot tried the "irw" command still not showing any outputs when I press the remotes buttons.
