LIRC MCE USB Config Crash

[Dion]

Binary package hint: lirc

Release: Ubuntu maverick (development branch) / 10.10
Pack Type / Version: LIRC 0.8.6-0ubuntu5
Expected To Happen - LIRC installed and configured a Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all device
Actual Results -

When attempting to install LIRC either by apt-get in a terminal and by package manager it gets to the configuration option of the installationwhere you select the type of remote control you have and when you select the device as;

"Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all"

the install of LIRC crashes and hangs on "Installing Modules".

If you select different remotes in the configuration options of LIRC it will then get past "Installing Modules" and complete the install of LIRC but obviously the remote in question does not work as its the wrong remote type.

This leads me to the conclusion that it is only the "Windows Media Center Transceivers /Remotes all" option that is causing LIRC to fail its final configuration.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alec Leamas (leamas-alec)]

We believe this bug has been fixed by lirc updates since 0.6.0. In particular, the last release 0.9.4 does not rebuild lirc in any way and these kind of problems just cannot occur (not to say other probklems couldn't).

Please let us know if you are still interested in this. Otherwise, without further input, let's close this bug.

Marking as incomplete since we have no information if this bug is still present in recent versions.
