I have Mythtv set up on Ubuntu 7.10 and I'm trying to get Lirc working.
1. I installed mythtv before I installed Lirc
2. I'm using a Silverstone GD01 which has a Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD unit on the front. I have down loaded and installed Lric and the driver for the imon IR/LCD unit
3. When I run:
HTPC@HTPC:~$ ls -l /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2008-05-03 11:22 /dev/lirc0
This seems OK?
4. I then added the correct lircd.conf for the imon, is is located in /etc/lircd.conf
5. When i start lircd and run irw i get the following:
HTPC@HTPC:~$ sudo lircd -d /dev/lirc0
HTPC@HTPC:~$ irw
0000000028b595b7 00 1 iMON-PAD
00000000299595b7 00 5 iMON-PAD
This again seems Ok and the IR reciever is picking up a signal from the imon remote.
6. when I run ps -e|grep lirc I get
HTPC@HTPC:~$ ps -e|grep lirc
6855 ? 00:00:00 lircd
Is this OK? Some information I have read suggests that the grep output should be:
xxxxx ? 00:00:00 lirc_dev
6855 ? 00:00:00 lircd
This is as far as I have managed to get.
I need help with the following:
a. I' not sure where to out the lircrc & .lircrc files? (I have the lirc file for the imon)
b. How do I link the lircrc files so that Myth acts of the IR signals?
c. How do I get this to run from boot?
d. Do I need to insatll Lirc and the imon driver before i install myth?
