LIRC GPIO setup permission denied. - jpaytoncfd - 27th Jun, 2013 11:11 PM
I am trying to set up a GPIO ir receiver on the raspberry pi.
When I try to run any of the associated programs (mode2, irrecord, irw) I get permission denied. I tried running as xbian and root. same either way.
Am I doing something wrong?

I guess you are running Alpha 1.
Reported on Github https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/390.
You can change them yourself with sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xxx where xxx is the executable

Nope, Beta 1. I did have this issue with alpha 1 as well. and I installed Beta 1 from scratch. but I will give that a try.

CHmod -x did nothing. Still permission denied.
root@xbian:/usr/local/bin# chmod -x lircrcd mode2 irrecord
root@xbian:/usr/local/bin# modprobe lirc_rpi
root@xbian:/usr/local/bin# mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
-bash: /usr/local/bin/mode2: Permission denied
root@xbian:/usr/local/bin# /etc/init.d/lirc restart

GOT IT!!! Needed to change the permissions to 777

Why -x? U need +x there.

That was a typo. The permissions were the real issue though. 777 does the trick. +x makes it work if running as root. 777 lets me run it without sudo.
