I am humbly asking for some assistance with lirc as I am completely stumped now. I've been using XBMC on windows for some time now and I recently took the plunge and bought a Foxconn nt-330i to install live on it.

I'm stuck at lirc. I am not familiar with Linux and as such unable to intelligent choices. Thus far I've looked online and the most help I've been able to find is from HOWTO setup Lirc to talk to XBMC.

But when I run the command

Code:

sudo apt-get install lirc

I get a message saying that lirc is already installed. It would seem that because of that the next instruction does not work for me.

I am using a USB-UIRT dongle and from what I've read the command I need to run is:

Code:

./configure --with-usb_uirt_raw --with-driver=usb_uirt_raw

But where to I navigate to on XBMC to execute this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eventually, I hope to have my universal remote working with this.

Thank you very much everyone.

You could possibly try reinstalling lirc and using the USB-UIRT selections from the setup.

Use the command from a console window:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

This should invoke the configuration again, bringing up a selection list where you could try selecting USB-UIRT

Once you've configured it, in a console type:
irw

Then press a few buttons on your remote, if you get a response, it should be working.
