I have checked my config files, everything seems unchanged...
Any idea?

***Nachteule*** · (This post was last modified: 10th Jul, 2018 10:13 PM by Nachteule.)

Which version of xbian-package-lirc do you have installed?

There is a new one in devel repository, but I do not suppose that you have enabled this repository.

Anyway, can you check if xbian-package-lirc has been updated?

FYI: lirc_atiusb module is not longer available since kernel version 4.13, so the xbian-package-lirc package has been modified, but since there are a lot of changes in that package (it does not longer contain binaries, it's just a meta package for lirc), it is still not put into staging repository

You can post /var/log/upstart/lirc.log here, after you have removed that file and system rebooted.

Chiron · 11th Jul, 2018, 07:09 AM

Well I've activated both devel and staging repos, updated, and it won't even boot.
It seems I've been playing too much with this install. Big Grin

It doesn't matter. I'm leaving for a week of holidays. When I'm back I'll set up everything from scratch, and will let you know what happens.
Thanks a lot Smile

Hello I'm back
I've reformatted my card, activated the devel repo and updated
the file:

Code:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# cat /var/log/upstart/lirc.log

I'm still stuck with my remote, I've tried to play with the config files in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d with no success
the x10.conf file is my config file, but kodi ignores it.

***Nachteule*** · 19th Jul, 2018, 06:37 AM

Welcome back Smile

if you run irw, do you see any events when pressing buttons on your remote?

Which version of lirc do you have installed?

Terminal

dpkg -l | grep -w lirc

Code:

Hmmm, that's weird Confused

But I'm surprised, tested here and this remote isn't mostly not working, neither atilibusb nor devinput driver is stable. Maybe kernel issue (using 4.18.0 rc4 at the moment)

Have to investigate tomorrow with 4.14 kernel

Btw, lirc version is same I'm using

Chiron · 19th Jul, 2018, 07:39 PM

Btw, upgrading after activating devel repo, replaced krypton by leia alpha.

Sure, next Kodi Leia release is in devel repo, and if you run a full upgrade, you'll get this version. But you was never been told to do that Cool

I have some results:

1) The new lirc version (or atilibusb driver) can not deal with the old version of x10-atiwonder.conf remote configuration file
I was downloading version from sourceforge by command irdb-get download atiusb/atilibusb.lircd.conf and build from this version new release of 10-atiwonder.conf file. Now its working again
2) atilibusb driver still a bit unreliable, even with kernel 4.14, sometimes lircd complains:

Code:

lircd-0.10.1[27019]: Error: couldn't initialize USB receiver: Resource temporarily unavailable

in the syslog logfile (you have to install a syslog daemon -- I'm running rsyslog to get the log messages or you have to add
--logfile /var/log/lircd to LIRCD_ARGS parameter in /etc/default/lirc, for example

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 /tmp # cat /etc/default/lirc | grep LIRCD_ARGS
LIRCD_ARGS="--loglevel=WARNING --logfile /var/log/lircd"

Don't know what the culprit is. Maybe processor speed (Pi3B+ was very worse, Pi3 is better)

Tonight I'll build new version of xbian-package-lirc

***Nachteule*** · 20th Jul, 2018, 05:34 AM

New version built an uploaded into devel repo

Please note, that the new file x10-atiwonder.conf is declared as conf file, means that if you ever had modified this, it will not be overwritten on package install. You will get a x10-atiwonder.conf.dpkg-dist instead.

And --logfile /var/log/lircd has been added to /etc/default/lirc LIRCD_ARGS parameter to make the package a bit more compatible to the prior version

That's great! Thanks a lot.
Concerning Leia I know I should upgrade only the lirc package, but once launched the apt-get upgrade, it was too late. Angel

I will reinstall tomorrow. Will the new version of xbian-package-lirc be in stable or devel repo?

I just have to wait for the package to be available.
