________End of Fix_______

I ‘am trying to get my pvr-150 blaster to work in Gusty and/or Mythbuntu but it’s giving me grief.

I have installed the “lirc” and “lirc-modules-source” from the package manager. And Choose the Hauppauge tv card when asked. Then I opened “/etc/lirc/hardware.conf” and Modify the “MODULES” line from “ MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c" “ to “MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_pvr150 lirc_i2c" “ adding the prv150 to be loaded. Then I download the firmware “haup-ir-blaster.bin” and move it to “/lib/firmware/” and confirm its there.

Now here is where the fun begins. If I reboot or “sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart” the system hard locks. The only way I can boot the system to normal mode is to rename “/etc/lirc/lircd.conf” (--OR--) to edit “/etc/lirc/hardware.conf” and remove “lirc_pvr150” from the “MODULES” line.

I have tried editing “/etc/lirc/hardware.conf” and the “MODULES” line to just “MODULES="lirc_pvr150" “ and it still hard locks.

This is all from a fresh install of Gusty or Mythbuntu RC.

This is from my /var/log/messages, with the lirc_pvr150 in the modules line of hardware.conf and no lircd.conf file:
