Well, here it is, March 30, 2013 and the problem persists. Only the version has been changed to protect the obsolete.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with all updates applied as of this date.
Code:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Selecting previously unselected package lirc.
(Reading database ... 190459 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking lirc (from .../lirc_0.9.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
Processing triggers for doc-base ...
Processing 1 added doc-base file...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up lirc (0.9.0-0ubuntu1) ...
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-39-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc: No such file or directory
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC
After installation, I get the following:
Code:
irexec: could not open config files /home/silvad/.lircrc and /etc/lirc/lirc/lircrc
irexec: No such file or directory
Anyone? Is there a workaround for this? Is this the reason local configuration files aren't created, resulting in lirc not working with vlc? Or should I look elsewhere for the solution to my problem?
