[Bug 787735] Re: Snapstream Firefly non-functional

This bug is old. The loast release (0.9.4c - zesty) deals with this. Actually the default configuration (--driver devinput --device auto) should cover the devinput case. Here is also new documentation on how to setup the default driver (also available at http://lirc.org/html/configuration- guide.

Ya, but that's not something an ordinary user knows how to figure out. I couldn't find any docs on how to setup devinput, what it is, or when to use it. It's not at all clear from the documentation how to find and debug each of these steps: Which driver (the docs say the atilibusb driver is right

I'm still quite sure ati_remote + lircd's devinput driver works just fine for the firefly hardware when you're talking to the right event device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787735 T

Nope. Nothing worked for me. The one thing I didn't try was building lirc 0.9.0 from source (Ubuntu shipps 0.8.7). I bought a media center edition remote: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003&Tpk=80-121-003 There is a bug with it doubling every button press, but the so

@Dan Christian - did you ever get it working? I'm in the same boat except I can tell from your posts that you are a few grades above me in your linux knowledge. I can follow what you did, but I wouldn't know the commands on my own without someone showing me like you have in your posts. I did a

ati_remote apparently doesn't have everything in the driver properly wired up for udev to create the persistent symlink in by-id/, so you'll have to use some other means of discovery. You can point straight to a /dev/input/eventX device, or by name or phys, per http://lirc.org/html/devinput.html.

I think you are saying that REMOTE_DEVICE should be set to one of these: $ ls /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-* /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd@ /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse@ /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-event-mouse@ /dev/

Okay, dmesg looks much better. I'm assuming some "helpful" Ubuntu lirc package bit is adding that blacklist file. Remove it. Let ati_remote load. Instruct lircd to use the 'devinput' driver, with device '/dev/input/by-id/', and the lircd.conf.devinput config provided by lirc. Dunno how or if that's

I didn't create /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist, some package did (I had assumed it was lirc, but I can't find it in the package manifest and I'm not sure how to search for what package owns what file). I'm not sure what you're saying about ati_remote. The lirc configuration has been noting but co

Ah, so you've blacklisted ati_remote, ok, that makes more sense then. But why do that? Let ati_remote load, and then use lircd's devinput mode. (Not that atilibusb shouldn't work too). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. ht
