Comment 10 for bug 177166

Hi,

I tested with the last development ISO image of Ubuntu (using a Live CD). I choose the "usb uirt" driver when asked. Then I did the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop # To stop LIRC daemon
sudo lircd -n # To work on foreground

and in another terminal, I wrote 'irw'. The first terminal just prints:
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: config file contains no valid remote control definition
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: lircd(default) ready
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.5[6304]: Failed to initialize hardware

And the 2nd terminal prints nothing. As it mentionned that '/dev/lirc' is missing, I tried to do 'sudo ln -s /dev/lircd /dev/lirc', but I gave the same result.
