lirc not working, irw empty, irrecord no gap found

[Schmirrwurst]

Binary package hint: lirc

I'm trying to use the Ir remote control from my Pinnacle PCTV,

In dpkg-reconfigure, I've selected /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.7-event-ir as device

Lirc is starting without failure, but it seems that lirc is receiving no signal from the device...

When trying to use irrecord, I get :
Hold down an arbitrary button.
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
irrecord: closing '/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.1-usb-0:1:1.2-event'

If I run
lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.7-event-ir --nodaemon
lircd-0.8.7[3455]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

I have no other output... and irw, is showing no output aswell

Lirc does not correctly work after upgrading to 11.04.

The last lirc update 0.9.4 more or less obsoletes this bug since this kind of configuration doesn't take place. In order to verify this bug we need some testing on the latest version.

If you are still interested in this bug, please provide some feedback from testing with 0.9.4c- Otherwise, without further input, let's eventually close this bug.

confirmed -> incomplete since we have no info on the status with recent lirc versions.
