OpenSUSE :: Lirc Configuration For Logitech UltraX Remote?
Feb 18, 2010
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 have a Logitech trackball which I configured to emulate a scroll wheel in the xorg.conf file in 11.1. It is ignored in 11.2. I tried configuring with SAX2, but there are no mouse settings available. Even so, I used SAX2 to set the display and made sure the xorg.conf file had my mouse settings. Still no luck. I checked the Xorg.log file which at the top said the xorg.conf file that I edited was being used. The mouse section showed a different configuration being loaded:

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'm using Debian Squeeze and my 0-9 remote control buttons and power off button work even if I've didn't installed lirc. In a Gnome desktop I could set up the volume too, but now as I'm using Fluxbox I can't start the volume control applet anymore (by the way does somebody knows any handy volume applet for Fluxbox ?)So my question is that if some button of my remote control already work without lirc, then there must by some drivers installed, when I've upgraded to a newer kernel, but I can't figure out what makes my remote control to work. Does anybody knows something about this and if there's something already installed for IR devices in newer kernels how can it be further configured ?
If i type the command "cat /dev/input/event6" in my terminal I can see that all my remote control buttons give a signal, but still I can't figure it out how can I set up all of them.

After upgrading to lucid, the remote that accompanied my macbook 4.1 appears to do nothing. (Testing with irw and xev). The howto at [URL] avoids any reference to the remote. I had it working properly in karmic. The howto at [URL] fails to help -- and is pretty much what I'd successfully done under kamic. The following launchpad post accurately describes my experience: [URL]. Has anyone resolved, found a workaround for, or otherwise had success getting lirc to work on a macbook with lucid?

I've bought this remote control that sais it works in Vista, XP etc. without any driver. Basically it has a bunch of buttons that replace the mouse and a bunch of others that replace basic keyboard functions (arrows, enter, escape). It has a USB IR receiver so I thought I could simply use it as a lirc remote in Ubuntu.
However, it sais absolutely nothing on it except for "PCremote" so during lirc installation I have no idea what to choose. And, interestingly, I accidentally discovered that it works in Ubuntu, too, out of the box. Controlling the mouse and acting like a keyboard. Is there a way I can forfeit current functionality and just get it to work as a customizable lirc remote? Or even better, keep current functionality but change it only for certain apps (xbmc, vlc etc)?

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 am trying to get Skype working, the only problem is the webcam, in the test video all I get is a black screen.
After some research I found this command to get Skype to work with my webcam, as you can see there are a few errors.
Below is a listing of of /usr/lib/libv4l/ directory
Other than the video, eveything seems to be working.
This is on Skype 2.2, Skype 2.1 was the same. webcam works fine.

This may be a bit late for the OP, but I thought to post here, as this thread seems to surface when googling for Audiohub problems. I had this roughly 10-20 Hz ticking/popping constant noise as well, and it seems to be related to the fact that the speakers are connected through a USB hub, not directly.
After experimenting a bit with the kernel USB configuration, the noise went away when I unselected
USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT and USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED at "Device drivers - USB support - EHCI HCD". I think it is the latter option that made the difference. This was on kernel 2.6.25.4. Although marked experimental, both seem to be selected on Arch kernel26. On older kernels (2.6.20-2.6.24) you may have to select USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO, but there I am just guessing.
The hardware volume knob still does nothing (I don't think there is a hardware mixer, probably it just tries to communicate the volume changing request to the computer). Does anyone have idea how to make this work, it's kind of sad to have one and not be able to use it?

I am not able to play certain movie files with MPlayer since a few days:
Code:

Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs
DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1
DMO dll might use previous sample when requested
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec
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.
Code:
kalle@hoppers:~> file somefile.wmv
somefile.wmv: Microsoft ASF
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.
Xine also is not able to play this video:

Does anyone know of a variant on the Logitech SetPoint software (it allows more functions for Logitech keyboards and mice) for Ubuntu? Would the Windows version work in Wine? I didn't think it would because the app uses Bluetooth, and I don't know if Wine can do that.

I'd like to get the scroll wheel's left and right tilting to work in firefox (go back and forward one page). A lot of the forums suggest ways to do this with xorg.conf, but I see that it's been removed in 11.2. The only mouse support in Yast is this "text console mouse model" thing- what is that?? At any rate, it doesn't have Logitech LX or MX series mice in its list.Any suggestions for getting this to work? Am I going to have to create an xorg.conf file, and what will break if I do? Any ideas what the direction is for Logitech mice in openSUSE? It sure would be great to have better support for mice in this distro

I was having some issues with my old webcam and decided to just get a new one since my old cam was just that, old. Anyway, I went with a Logitech Orbit AF and it works as far as video goes but I can not figure out how to change the pan/tilt. I did not expect all the options of the cam to work but I figured I would at least be able to move the cam up since it is aiming at its lowest setting, which when using is around my chest. I have been searching around trying to find something that tells me what I need to do. From what I read, I think I need to change the settings of some functions called v4L2UpDownPan() and v4L2UpDownTilt() in luvcview, which I guess are in a file called v4l2uvc.c but I can not find that file. Is this what I need to do? Is that the file I need to change and if so, where is it? I just want to set it and leave it.

Apparently, this webcam uses the gspca2 driver. The gspca modules are loaded but if I try using a program like cheese it tells me no device was detected.
Code:
hwinfo --usb

If I do a modprobe -rf gspca_zc3xx and then modprobe gspca_zc3xx I see the light blink a couple times, but it still doesn't work in cheese.

My desktop PC has an onboard high definition audio Realtek chipset and a plugged-in Logitech USB headset which I currently set it as default audio device. Am using openSUSE 11.2 X86_64-KDE4. Audio mixer is not muted but I cannot hear from the headset, although I can hear sounds if I run Windows 7 or Ubuntu 9.10.
1) /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh gives the following URL:

2) rpm -qa *alsa* gives:

Since I have already gone through all troubleshooting steps in SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE, and there's still no sound

Before you think, someone posted on this already, give me a chance. I've looked that other guys who posted with this type of headphones last year and earlier this year. By upgrading to the new Kernel, fixed it automatically. The thing is, none of them mentioned if mic worked. I want to purchase it but don't want waste my money. (fairly expensive where I am)
Any input before I buy let me know. I really prefer USB now as I always lose my headphones to do the cable going bad all the time. USB tends to be more sturdier IMHO. Of course I could be wrong Just check my signature for my laptop to know the specs.

I've got a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX webcam. According to this website, this webcam works under Linux; however, when I open Cheese, I get only a screen full of colored bars (like what you see on a television channel that's off-air), and in Skype I get green snow.

I am currently using openSUSE 11.2, and I just got a Logitech Clearchat Pro USB headset for Christmas. Like the average Linux n00b, I just plugged it in and hoped it would work like normal. Well, at first it did work, but the volume was very quiet. The headset also controlled the system's volume controls (pressing up/down on the right headset would raise/lower the volume on the system itself, not the headset). So I went to YasT2. Added the headset as a second sound card. Configured the volume.
However, I noticed now the volume icon on the System Tray has completely disappeared. Pressing up/down on my keyboard's vol. controls no longer works, nor my laptop's built-in volume dial. Did I completely destroy any chance of changing the volume from outside of YasT2? I set it to "auto config" the Logitech headset, I thought it was safe since it recognized it as the right 'set. Someone, please help me. I'm sure you all know how much of a hassle it is to open YasT2, type in the root password, and configure your sound card just to change the volume.
I just held down the volume up again on the headset, and all of a sudden my cursor just started shaking like an earthquake passed by, and I could see the blue highlight around the form flicker.

my Logitech webcam C 200 under openSuse 11.2-2.6.31.5 appears as046d:0802, but in Skype I cannot see any image when testing the webcam. The correct audio input cannot be chosen either, it does not even appear in the drop-down box.I've installed the same webcam on a different machine with openSuse 11.2 and it worked out of the box, so I don't think there should be any additional driver required.

After upgrading from OS11.1 to 11.2 I am annoyed by the fact that no configuration options exist any more to customize for my mouse. This is a 2-button trackball very ergonomic for people. that are prone to have RSI problems like me, a real solution.
Before in 11.1 I could use Yast to set up X that it would emulate a scrollwheel with the right button. Unfortunately now with 11.2 all has to be recognised automatically and they simply threw out the mouse configuration in Yast, leaving us with some useless console mouse configuration. Not every upgrade means an improvement, which seems very much like ....
Could somebody help me or give me pointers what is the procedure to recover this emulated scrollwheel functionality? I know it has to do with xorg.conf, but I don't have that file and without this good start it will be difficult for me to get anywhere. How is this file re-created?

I recently migrated from Gentoo Linux to openSuSE because I no longer have that much time to maintain the sane state of my system, and want my computer to just work when I need it.. So far openSuSE surprised me and I was able to configure my system almost completely without even touching the shell where I almost lived in the Gentoo days..
However, I'm not able to make openSuSE automatically detect my logitech BT dongle (as part of a dinovo keyboard and mouse set) and switch it from HID to HCI mode so I'm able to use bluetooth.
What does work is this:
Code:
# /usr/sbin/hid2hci --method=logitech --vendor=046d --product=c70c
Then the dongle is switched to HCI mode, a bluetooth applet appears in gnome and I was able to pair with the keyboard, keypad, mouse and mobile phone
But I don't want to manually run that command each time, so I figured the best way is to let udev handle that (?).. As I didn't find any udev rules to perform such an action I tried creating one myself, however, I'm not sure that I'm doing it right /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci:
Code:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", RUN+="/usr/sbin/hid2hci --method=logitech --vendor=$attr{idVendor} --product=$attr{idProduct}"
But that doesn't seem to work..(yes I reloaded the udev rules using udevadm)
how do I make this work? And shouldn't it already work out-of-the-box?

They promise a lot for this camera: Full HD recording in 1080p, brilliant pictures with 10 MP resolution (2592x1944), Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus for 7cm and beyond .So I got this camera at a local shop and fired up guvcview. The camera produced a picture right away. An that's about the end of the success story.
After some unsuccessful attempts to focus on the building on the other side of the street I closed guvcview and started a Google search. It turned up the following message by kpeppard, "Support Specialist":
Also, our webcams are only made to go to a maximum 6 feet then it starts to get blurry. HD Pro Webcam C910 Focus Issue (MacOS) - Logitech Forums In fact the camera can focus down to a distance of about 4cm (better than they promise). But when the focus is set to the best possible "infinity" the image is in focus at a distance of 40cm. Anything further away gets blurry. I made all my experiments with the best possible resolution using fswebcam
Code:
fswebcam -d /dev/video0 -i 0 -r 2592x1944 -p YUYV logitech.jpg
and guvcview in video mode @1920x1080.

Inspired by some recent posts from oldcpu I decided to grab some audio from my Logitech webcam, just for the fun of it. openSUSE 11.3 i586 is in use.
Code:
> lsusb

> arecord -l
**** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (CAPTURE) ****
Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
[Code]...
It works! Though I have to say that the audio quality is mediocre (to say the best). I blame it on the quality of the built-in microphone of this camera. It sounds like it was recorded in a giant bathroom.
