I'm having an identical problem on a machine I just upgraded from Intrepid to Karmic. After mucking about for a long time, I was grasping at straws, and manually installed the 0.8.3 packages intended for Hardy from the CommandIR PPA (https://launchpad.net/~commandir- team/+archive/ppa/+packages), since that's the version of LIRC I had working in Ubuntu 8.10. The "lirc - 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1+ppa7" packages are working fine for me in Karmic/9.10 (if you install them, remember to pin them to avoid accidental upgrades). The 0.8.4a packages from the same source exhibit the same problems as the official Karmic packages, so the regressions seems to be in 0.8.4. Haven't done any further digging; this has already sucked down half a week's evening hacking time.
If there's any information I can provide or testing I can do to help resolve this regression in the latest LIRC packages, please let me know. -- lircd segfaults with commandir driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
