Comment 19 for bug 570700

Dogers, I get the same error now. I just upgraded. Now my remote is broken. None of the workarounds on this page work anymore, at least not on x64.

[ 5674.248879] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[ 5674.248889] lirc_wb677: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

Forget about trying to install the module directly from the .deb. At least with the source version you get a meaningful error.

I grepped the source of wb677 for "lock" and there are like 30 lines there, and I'm not sure which of them I'd change to fifo_lock. But shouldn't lirc not be changing its kernel symbols randomly? That's kind of a major thing, isn't it? Can't rebuild lirc modules myself because of the aforementioned pgp error. I don't even have close to an idea why I need to do anything with pgp or gpg to build modules on my own machine. That's very stupid too.
