Okay. I see two bugs here: 1) device load order (serial vs imon). This is fixable with the hardware.conf load order, and the udev rules don't help this, afaict. This is the "original bug". As such, I'm closing this bug report. If some solution becomes known, please feel free to reopen it.
2) lirc totally does not handle hotplugging. when I unplug a USB receiver, the entire stack shuts down. :( So, this should be a new bug, and it would be a "Wishlist" feature request, since it doesn't seem that there is already a way for lircd to handle these situations. Thanks to everyone who looked at this! I think I understand the lirc problems much better now. :) ** Changed in: lirc (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Kees Cook Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- no udev rules installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
