I am running Mythbuntu 16.04.6 LTS and Mythtv 28.2. I use LIRC with an MCE remote and "Homebrew" Serial Port and this has been working for me for years, since I built my system.
On Sun 4-14 I performed upgrades as scheduled by Software Center. I think this is the list of stuff that was installed then.
Code:
2019-04-14 18:48:52 status installed man-db:amd64 2.7.5-1
2019-04-14 18:48:52 status installed install-info:amd64 6.1.0.dfsg.1-5
2019-04-14 18:48:53 status installed systemd:amd64 229-4ubuntu21.21
2019-04-14 18:48:54 status installed ureadahead:amd64 0.100.0-19
2019-04-14 18:48:55 status installed grub-common:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21
2019-04-14 18:48:55 status installed grub2-common:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21
2019-04-14 18:48:55 status installed grub-pc-bin:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21
2019-04-14 18:49:13 status installed grub-pc:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21
2019-04-14 18:49:16 status installed rsyslog:amd64 8.16.0-1ubuntu3.1
After these upgrades LIRC stopped working. I tried all of my normal LIRC setup/fixes with no luck. This included
Purging/Installing LIRC
Configuring the Hardware (dpkg-reconfigure lirc)
Editing the hardware.conf
Using IRW and mode2 and cat /dev/lircx to check for responses
I have LIRC0 and LIRC1 in /dev and tried using both. I have had issues with my port being re-enumerated randomly to LIRC0 and LIRC1 in the past.
Did something change that would cause LIRC to stop working?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
