lirc with pvr-250 remotes doesn't work after 9.10->10.04 upgrade

[Charles 'Buck' Krasic]

Binary package hint: lirc

If I run irw to test, remote actions don't generate output. top shows lirc_dev using 100% cpu.

Hardware was previously fine through several Ubuntu releases dating back to 7.10.

Thanks for taking the time to file a bug. However can you please post some additional information:

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

I'm having this problem too, and my Hauppauge card is not being detected with a "Leadtek IR" identifier as described in bug #555863. I had the 2.6.33 kernel installed at one point, but it has since been removed and I even tried recompiling lirc without the 2.6.33 patch:

$ cd /tmp
$ apt-get source lirc-modules-source
$ sudo apt-get build-dep lirc-modules-source
$ cd /tmp/lirc-0.8.6
$ nano debian/patches/series # remove the lirc_dev-2.6.33.patch line and save
$ debuild
$ sudo dpkg -i ../lirc-modules-source*deb
