Package: lirc
Version: 0.8.3-5
Severity: important
I use lircd and a range of remotes with a homebrew serial IR receiver and a
number of different remotes on a Mythtv frontend. I had been using a
home-built 0.8.7 version under Lenny; but since upgrading to squeeze in the
past few days and migrating to the squeeze version of lirc, we've twice
encountered what appears to be the same issue.
We first see a spurious lirc event (e.g., video skiups back without any user
input), and then things start looking very broken.
Running
$ irw /dev/lircd
once the problem has started shows that the overall sensitivity appears to be
down (e.g., not all key presses result in events), and when events are
generated they do not correspond to the key that was last pressed.
Significantly, when a key is pressed and an event is generated, the event
corresponds not to the key that was pressed, but to a "previous" keypress,
as if the keypress you make is placed at the end of a queue that is 4-6
events long, and the one delivered via /dev/lircd is taken from the head of
the queue.
Stopping and restarting lircd appears to fix things, which suggests that the
problem is in lircd and not in (say) the kernel modules, which remain loaded
throughout. However restarting lircd disrupts the flow of lirc events to
irexec, which means that restoring full functionality may be somewhat more
involved (in my case restarting gdm as well as lircd is sufficient, as all of
the system's lirc clients run in an automatically logged in X session).
I didn't see this problem with 0.8.7, so it seems likely that it is fixed by
some change between the two versions; however I can't identify anything
obviously related in the upstream changelog.
Regards,
John Pearson
