got the same problem: ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc: No such file or directory * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [fail]
and after the workaround from above: sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc got this problem: ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [fail] Don't know why it failed again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004239 Title: lirc installation error in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1004239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
