Hi guys,

I installed lirc according to this tutorial here: Click! (I hava a Moncaso 312)
This tutorial worked out when I was running 10.04 XBMCLive installation.

Now I have a 11.10 minimal installation and I tried the same tutorial. Everything works fine till step 7 but I don't have these 2 files existing after installation:
Code:
/etc/init.d/lirc
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

But I do have this file:
Code:
/etc/lirc/lircd.con


I do have the same problem if I take the newest version of Lirc -> 0.9.0.

Does anybody is able to help me, get Lirc running in my system.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Smile

Can I just create them? Why did the installer not create them?
I'll give it a try when I'm at home again.

I created these files but I cant run irw. This error occurs:

Code:
xbmc@htpc:~$ irw
connect: No such file or directory
xbmc@htpc:~$ irw /dev/lircd
connect: No such file or directory

I also tried:
Code:
xbmc@htpc:/etc/lirc$ sudo irrecord -H mplay2 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/test
sudo: irrecord: command not found

May somebody help me.
Thanks.

Question  2011-12-11, 13:19
No I got IRW running doing this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install lirc lirc-x liblircclient0 inputlirc

I also see the dots when I start this command:
Code:
sudo irrecord -H mplay2 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/test

But I don't see anything when I do irw.

These are my lirc files:

hardware.conf
Code:
REMOTE_DRIVER="mplay2"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyUSB0"

lircd.conf
