LIRC Issues

[Markcf105]

I have just converted from raspbmc to xbian. I am trying to get my IR receiver working. I was following the Tutorials:Configuring a remote, but am stuck at the beginning....

when i run this command:

/etc/init.d/lirc stop

I get:

bash: /etc/init.d/lirc: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?? this is a fresh install of xbian... My IR was working with raspbmc....

Thanks,

Mark

So I found a forum post that instructed to run the following:

apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-lirc

So here is what happens now:

root@xbian:~# /etc/init.d/lirc stop
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service lirc stop

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop lirc
root@xbian:~# mode2
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

If i run the "irw" command it does not generate outputs??

any thoughts??

Thanks
