I was to quic to selebrate, the lirc0 device just disepair after some time when you wathing movies, sometime after 3-4 movies and sometime less, and the only thing that helps is restart
And I dont think its related to the Lirc Device Increment Bug after sustend, sins the box have not gone to sleep-.

I think the problem is releated to this tread

Feb 16 18:21:47 xbmc-desktop lircd-0.9.0[614]: caught signal

[alfton]

is it just me that experience this bug?

ill starting to think this is a bug with the lirc version, that make it crashing. Or something with the kernel.

im goint to invstigate abit more and if i find any solutions i get back with it here

[alfton]

Sorry, have not have had any luck to find out what happening with this, this bug is still in rc2.

[alex84]

Experience something simular here to. I have seen some errero regarding lirc when i shutdown the machine to. Sometimes it takes 5/10 clicks on my remote before i get a respons, usally only when i have booted the machine. Have not had the time to debug it more do.

[alfton]

Im starting to think this is a bug in this lirc version.

Maybe could try to upgrade the kernel?

[thctlo]

Hai, i also thinks this is a lirc bug.

try the following.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "input device"

change in your lirc config your device

this is for me correct

DEVICE="/dev/input/event3"

also, sometimes the input changes after reboot, so if your remote does not work, check your input device again.

more info, look here: http://www.lirc.org/html/devinput.html

[alfton]

thctlo ty for your answer here, that unfortantly did not helt me so much.

I have now installet linux-image 3.2, and will do some testing, and I will give back here when i know more, the problem with this bug, is that is happening realy randomly. sometime its work in 2-3 days in a row with out crashing, and sometime its only work for 4-5 hours.

I hope upgrade the kernel helped me.

[alfton]

after some thinking, I belive the lircd driver crashing when you stressing the driver. So maybe to repoduse the bug, is to click allot on the remote controll, and I almost surten the driver crashing. Thats why the lircd crash is abit random. Still testing out the new kernel, have still not crased yet

[alfton]

Ok, after some time of testing with linux-image 3.2 installed, things looking promising, till now I have not experienced any lircd crash yet..

If thing changes, Ill report back here.

(got the kernels from here:

update 7 mars, the update og kernel indeed fixed the problem with crashing lircd for me. This case is solved

May I ask how you update the image? My own attempt didn't work and I had to roll back to 3.0.
