It took me a few days to come up with it and I think it deserves some recognition. (thats 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-nct....32-25.deb or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct....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.
Thanks for posting this guide, however I am still not having any joy and keep getting errors which I will post once I have repeated the process again with a fresh install....
My setup is XBMC Live (xbmc-10.0-live.iso) installed to hdd
When I go into System Info the keneral is 2.6.32.26-generic.
So far this is what I have done.
Installed XBMCLive
Opened Putty.exe and logged in
Entered the following commands
Code:
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb
Then the following:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
entered password
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb
Noticed two [color=red][fail][/color]

But still something not right as remote dont work and theres two [fail] items

Should I be adding sudo? Without it it says I need to be superuser... Dont know anything about linux so all a learning curve.
Any help would be appreciated
If I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc I get the following:
Code:
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
* Stopping execution daemon: irexec [ OK ]
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [ OK ]
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service udev reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload udev
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [ OK ]
* Starting execution daemon: irexec [ OK ]
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$
SCRAP THAT!
Did sudo reboot NOW REMOTE WORKING! Many thanks your a legend! Happy Holidays and hope you feel better!
