remote not working - griv - 8th Jun, 2015 02:51 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to get my remote working after upgrading Xbian, it worked fine before but since the upgrade not so much. I have this remote: http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-IT-Remote-Media-Centres/dp/B00CZB46OI

mode2 gives me the following output:

mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

Any ideas what could be wrong? My TV doesn't have CEC and it did work on an older version of Xbian?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Post:

Code:

ls -Al /dev/lirc*

RE: remote not working - griv - 20th Jun, 2015 08:19 AM

Hi, that command gave me the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jun 18 21:39 /dev/lircd -> ../var/run/lirc/
lircd

RE: remote not working - CurlyMo - 20th Jun, 2015 06:42 PM

And

Code:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

And

Code:

lsmod

And also try:

Code:

modprobe ir_lirc_codec

And see if mode2 runs now?

RE: remote not working - griv - 20th Jun, 2015 07:24 PM

Thanks for the help, but I don't have a /debug/ directory within /kernel/ so the first cat command you posted doesn't work?

Also, I re-ran "ls -Al /dev/lirc*" as su and it gave me: /dev/lircd

RE: remote not working - CurlyMo - 20th Jun, 2015 07:41 PM

Don't just post the output of one of my suggestions, but try all of them and then repost.

RE: remote not working - griv - 20th Jun, 2015 08:30 PM

Hi, yes I tried all 3, the first one doesn't work due to the debug folder not existing, lsmod worked, modprobe didnt return anything (presume it worked) but trying mode2 gave me the same output my original post

RE: remote not working - deHakkelaar - 21st Jun, 2015 12:30 AM

@griv,
I believe Curly is asking you to post output on the forum for all 3 ?
Plus try and format your forum posts a bit as mixed text and code is difficult reading (forum has got "term" + "code" tags).

RE: remote not working - griv - 21st Jun, 2015 01:46 AM

Hi, I'm sorry about that, hope this is a bit clearer:

Code:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

Code:

cat: /sys/kernel/debug/gpio: No such file or directory

Code:

lsmod

RE: remote not working - CurlyMo - 21st Jun, 2015 02:31 AM

Can you use codes properly across your post. What does this say after the modprobe:

Code:

ls -Al /dev/lirc*

RE: remote not working - CurlyMo - 21st Jun, 2015 06:07 AM

Hmm, it's wierd. You should be able to see more in /dev/ as soon as you load that module.

RE: remote not working - griv - 21st Jun, 2015 07:37 PM

Is there anything I can manually install? Like some drivers for the remote?
