Has anyone got LIRC up and running on 11.4? There are some basic built-in remote functions from imbedded IR drivers in kernel but no specific LIRC functionality. Will 11.4 need lirc-kmp-desktop etc?

I`m new to openSUSE.Before openSUSE I used Ubuntu for almost a year but I decide to switch to openSUSE 11.2 KDE. Everything works great, but I cant get lirc to work or to recognize nu remote:Logitech ultraX. I don`t understand how to configure lirc in openSUSE or what packages is required for lirc to work, I know that I must manualz add file in lirc for my remote but I don`t know where to find them or how to use them. If someone could guide me step by step try configuration procedure.

I am not sure which filetypes are affected by this bug, but I can play *some* files. The specific file here used to work a few days ago.

The only major thing referring to multimedia in the past few days I remember is installing 'h264enc' from Packman, however, meanwhile I uninstalled this package, yet the problem persists.
Code:
kalle@hoppers:~> grep h264enc /var/log/zypp/history

2011-01-20 22:06:20|remove |h264enc|9.2.4-0.pm.1.1|noarch|root@hoppers
The only way of solving this was moving MPlayers config, but that did not help either.

I home-made the exact configuration detailed on the lirc.org webpage for making your own IR receiver. It's all wired correctly, I'm just not sure that the serial port is working like it should. I've used a voltmeter to determine that the voltage regulator is working and all.....
I've got LIRC configured with the home-brew IR receiver, and a Haupauge remote. I run irw and NOTHING happens no matter what remote I point at it. I've used test leads to see the effect using a remote on the unit has, and it seems to be working correctly, so either a driver or config file isn't working correctly. I've read a BUNCH of pages but simply don't know enough to troubleshoot any further on my own.
I have an older Compaq MT D220 with 2.4 GHz Celeron proc and 756 MB RAM, with F14 installed exclusively. I've yet to get Skype completely functional under these conditions. The loopback audio only test usually produces no sound or very broken sound. I tried upgrading my DSL from 3MBps max downstream and 0.5MBsp max upstream, to 6MBps max up and 1Mbps max down - to no avail!
System Monitor shows CPU and memory are below 100% utilization, and Skype's real time call stats show 0 packet loss. Perhaps using a leaner GUI than Gnome? I'm happy to report that as expected, other than this Skype issue and some lingering DVD-ROM and BackupPC issues, this old HW is much more tolerable with F14 than Windows XP!
One of the dedicated servers that I have does not seem to have the service 'named' functional:
root@server2 [~]# service named start
Locating /var/named/chroot//etc/named.conf failed: [FAILED]
Note that the double slashes (//) ARE part of the output as well as the long gap before [FAILED] appears. This 'named' service not being functional is not a problem which is preventing the server / the application on it from working. There are entries in /etc/resolv.conf though.
Trying to install the LIRC-mouse on Fedora 12 KDE. Lirc works fine but I cannot get the mouse going.

Is there a way to setup LIRC to flip through the icons on the desktop (similar to using the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard), and initiate a program with the remote? Would prevent the option of using remote desktop to open up or close a program
I have been working to try and get lirc to work with my Winfast 2000/XP. I keep getting an error that the kernel module isn't loaded. This is on Ubuntu 10.04 x64. When I try to start the service, I get the following:

I tried everything here; [URL].. When I try to use the Nuvoton IR Receiver it completely locks up the system and I need to chroot into the file system and disable lirc just to get booted again.

I am very eager to get two-finger scrolling in my acer 5740, but the big issue is my touchpad is not fully functional
"xinput llist" already detects the touchpad as
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
The xorg log shows dual loading of touchpad driver
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall"
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall"
[Code]...
But still after completely removing the xorg log and restarting the X, the log reports as
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall"
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall"
"synclient -l" though shows a long list of already set values, the touchpad is not working properly. How can I prevent this dual loading of drivers ? Kindly enlighten me , so that I can have a properly working touchpad. If any more info is required, then please ask me. There is no xorg.conf. I tried to generate one by "Xorg :1 -configure", but the generated file did not have any section related to touchpad.
at first I have to apologize for my poor English, but I'll do the best to explain what I need. I've got two webservers. One with CentOS 5.5 and the other one with Fedora 14 (both x86_64). There is the same configuration/compilation of LAMP.
Apache:
Code:
./configure

--enable-module=most
--enable-module=so
--enable-shared=max

These are the configurations. They are the same on Centos and Fedora. But as I said. the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass doesn't work (I'm testing it trough ab), even that I see Server API - CGI/FastCGI in phpinfo(). I've been fighting this problem whole week and I'm a little desperate,
I've had issues with the network manager bundled with KDE4 for a long time (cant connect to wireless or VPN networks, so I have to use the gnome network management applet in KDE to get networking on my laptop...)Has anyone here tried the 4.4 RC/Beta and noticed any fixes for it? Its a known bug, which has been around for quite a while now.

I have a dv9000 and the internal webcam is not functional. Since skype is defaulted through "/dev/video0" and not changeable, my usb webcam deosn't appear in skype. However, cheese and webcam studio both use the usb cam. how do I go about booting the internal webcam off of " /dev/video0" to be able to use skype with the usb webcam?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed CentOS 5.4 in my laptop. Initially I had difficulties in getting the machine up and running. So I went with the option of installing just the bare bones of CentOS 5.4. I did this by clearing all selections that are shown by default when you load CentOS 5.4 CD 1/6. This installed just the kernel and created only the root user. Right now, my laptop boots up in command line and I can login only as root. I would like to know if there is any document or any web URL that explains how to get a fully functional system from the scratch. Something like an installer manual or check list with instructions. Is there any document that you can refer to in situations where you have to manually install the drivers and configure the system because of some odd combination of hardware the machine has.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and am trying to get lirc to recognize my pcusa mce remote control. I have been working on this for a week and have not had any success. Please note that I am very new to Linux. I am comfortable moving around in the terminal but most of anything else that I do in the terminal is just following instructions.
This is the remote that I am using:
[URL]
When I run
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I do not see anything that could be the remote. I have tried plugging the USB receiver into my Ubuntu 10.10 net book but it doesn't see the receiver either. I do not have a windows machine that I can test the remote on but I plugged the receiver into my iMac and I did get a red LED lit that I haven't seen on the Ubuntu machines.
When I run irw and press buttons on the remote I see nothing on the terminal.
When I run:
sudo mode2
I get:
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
I have tried mode2 both with lirc running and stopped and I get the same response either way.
I have confirmed that there is no /dev/lirc but there is a lircd in /dev (it's not a directory). Also I had read somewhere that lirc doesn't work under Ubuntu 10.10. Is that the case?
I have recently built a new Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) and installed MythTV and LIRC.I have correctly (?) configured LIRC for my specific IR Blaster on the serial port. Using the test send (see below), nothing happens - ie none of the pins on the serial port change state, and hence my IR Blaster hardware does nothing.
