No remote in Ubuntu 9.04

Hi!

I cannot get the remote to work in Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit (clean installation). I have followed the installation instructions for lirc and vdr. The TV-tuner works in vdr but not the remote.

Running /opt/bin/getinput.sh generates "cannot access /event*" error message.

I've also tried configure lirc to use /dev/mediainput0.

Sundtek:
/dev/mediainput0 needs an extra application which we will start to ship soon.

please replug your device 1-2 times till getinput.sh returns the correct path to the input device.

you can also manually load uinput by running:

--- Code: ---sudo modprobe uinput

--- Ende Code ---

and afterwards replug the device, the driver is supposed to load it automatically although the initialization of uinput might take a little bit too long and the driver might skip to use it because of that.

erdah:
Thanks. Now a device was found (/dev/input/event12). I have modified /etc/lirc/hardware.conf accordingly. The remote still doesn't work in vdr. What is the easiest/best way to test the remote controller?

Sundtek:
please note that the order how you start the applications is important

You first need to start lircd, afterwards you need to restart the vdr service.

you can just run


--- Code: ---irw

--- Ende Code ---

on the console for testing the remote control.

erdah:
Excellent. Now it works!

How can I avoid to replug the device 1-2 times after each reboot?
