Hi I have just encountered the same problem after installing the DKMS modules lirc-modules-source (v 0.8.7-0ubuntu4.1)
I have a double whammy now, because the default kernel 2.6.38-8 and 2.6.38.11 does not have lirc_i2c driver installed which I need to get my remote to work, and the following info is quoted from the lirc project: [quote] lirc-0.8.7 has been tested with kernel versions up to 2.6.35. Older versions should also work. 2.4.x kernels are not supported anymore, but chances are good that it's still working. The last release officially supporting 2.4.x was 0.8.2. Please don't report problems with compilation on 2.4.x kernels. 2.2.x kernels are not supported anymore. >From 2.6.36 on all LIRC kernel drivers are already included in the kernel. >There has been a slight interface change in the LIRC ioctls that will affect >64-bit kernels. For recent kernels please only use 0.9.0 which is compatilbe >with the in-kernel drivers.[/quote] So the old stale package is still in the repository, even though it is not compatible with the new in-kernel drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655512 Title: /dev/lirc0 disappeared after upgrade from 2.6.35-20 to -22 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/655512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
