X10 Remote

[1of16]

to be honest...I don't really know
I think its loading:

Terminal

Feb 21 19:19:07 xbian lircd: lircd(atilibusb) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

but mode2 doens't work after I stop lircd
and I can't use dpkg-reconfigure lircd to change the main-lirc setting (got that from how-to's for the x10)

Can you try changing /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf to

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
#LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
#START_IREXEC=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="atilibusb"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
#DEVICE=""
#MODULES=""

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
#LIRCD_CONF=""
#LIRCMD_CONF=""

And restart lirc and try mode2 again:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
sudo mode2

[1of16]

still the same

Terminal

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

Can you share the howto's you found.

[1of16]

there many, but all I found so far are german: http://linuxundich.de/de/ubuntu/pc-funkfernbedienung-x10-unter-ubuntu-mit-lirc/
but I guess you can understand the commands...

thanks you for all your help so far!

[CurlyMo]

Can you try:

Code:

sudo modprobe ati_remote

no errormessage.
found another how-to: http://www.loggn.de/ubuntu-lirc-xbmc-mit-pc-funkfernbedienung-x10-steuern/
but:

Terminal

root@xbian:/etc/modprobe.d# modprobe lirc_atiusb
FATAL: Module lirc_atiusb not found.

I added

Terminal

REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

but nothing has changed...

[CurlyMo]

After using my previous hardware.conf, what does this output:

Code:

ls -Al /dev/lirc*

[CurlyMo]

Does it work in Raspbmc or OpenElec?

[1of16]

didn't tried it...raspbmc is really annoying, so I prefer to use xbian
I know its working with ubuntu/debian...

[CurlyMo]

I know, but to be sure it does work on the Raspberry Pi.

[1of16]

ok...its confusing...but with raspbmc its working pefect!...out of the box

[CurlyMo]

Can you post their /etc/lirc/lircd.conf + /etc/lirc/hardware.conf + lsmod
