Remote for Hauppauge HVR-1110 not working

[Maggi]

Hi ...
I'm having problems getting my remote to work, it's the one with the silver topping, black backend, comes with Hauppauge package.
It seems it does not get an event, when I do a cat /proc/bus/input/devices I do not see the IR reciever.
I've been surfing around to try to find a solution but almost all of them take aim that the IR reciever has been found by Mythbuntu.
I'm using the newest stable version of Mythbuntu (8.10).

The only way for me to use the remote is to tell the operation system that it is a keybord (without using lirc).
Then only the arrow buttons, ok button and number buttons work.
I would prefer to use lirc and be able to edit the config file to use the other buttons.

Has anyone experienced this and/or has a solution for me ?

I think you must load ir-kbd-i2c manually.

sudo modprobe ir-kbd-i2c
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start

Then you have to add to "/etc/modules" to load this module in the start of your system.

sudo sh -c 'echo " ir-kbd-i2c" >> /etc/modules'

Please see Bug #397190 for a solution!

having the same issue with HVR-1600
worked fine with 9.04
upgrade to 9.10 can't find anything in /proc/bus/input/devices, or /dev/lirc0(doesn't exist)

Howdy all,

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ir-kbd-i2c seems to be related to the info in comment #1 of this bug - could you please investigate that and report back?
If that doesn't help, could you please post the related output from /var/log/dmesg and maybe your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf?

Thank you!

did this
modprobe ir-kbd-i2c hauppauge=1

and hardware.conf is
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Hauppauge DVB-s card (ver. 2.1)"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

no difference..
here is my dmesg

Howdy, and thank you so much for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket. Unfortunately the Mythbuntu team does not have the resources to handle the constant stream of new devices such as this. Since the lirc team does not have a bug tracker, the most efficient way to get the device supported would be for you to contact the lirc team on their mailng list and describe everything you know about the remote and any data that you have collected. If they do add support, please feel free to re-open this ticket with the information about what they called the device so that it can be considered for import into Mythbuntu as a patch.
