I believe the source is the same for x86 and x64.

Cheers.

Hi!

I made this steps in Lucid, all dkms commands successed, but still say that:

"Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf"

Have any idea?
x64 system

Do you have lirc-modules-source installed? Is the 1st one to be installed.

cheers.

Here's a little guide that worked for me, combining most of the suggestions from this and other threads: http://www.clausconrad.com/blog/xbmc-on-asrock-ion-330ht

Hi there are drivers deb packages to install in ubuntu 9.10, and 10.04 on asrock site. Following instruction i install them in 10.04 and remote is working but only in xbmc? Is there a way to control other apps? Also what about logitech harmony xyz remote, are they working? I am thinking of buy harmony 555.

10.04 remote - kovat - 2010-06-29

Hi!

I made every steps several times, the lirc-modules-source already installed.
Problem is the x64 system?

Before .23 kernel it was worked perfectly. After dist upgrade, completely wrecked. Then I made the suggested steps, but nothing.

Any idea?

Thank You

I have exactly the same problem on Minimal Karmic Install 32bit ... Sad

Simply can't get remote to work anymore.

I was doing this on -22 kernel and got it work now ... Wink

I was messing with it soo many times I've lost the track but here what I've done just now and got my remote back - so if anyone si still struggling to get their's to work give it a spin:

aptitude purge ~nlirc
dkms uninstall -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10
dkms remove -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10 --all

aptitude install lirc-modules-source
dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-src-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb

dkms add -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10
dkms build -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10
dkms install -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10

aptitude install lirc

The good indication everything went well is seeing that irexec daemon has started succesfully after the last command:
It might also help to remove manually lirc folder at /etc after initial 3 "clean up" commands as during the removing purge was complaining about not being able to delete it as it was not empty.


Code:
* Loading LIRC modules                                            [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC                        [ OK ]
* Starting execution daemon: irexec                               [ OK ]

Also - the above assume that you have already the nct677x driver source downloaded and unpacked in the current folder

Tried to install the ncr677 driver on a clean MythBuntu installation with kernel .21. Worked after I installed it twice.

Installed the lirc-modules-source to add the source, and the driver corrupted.

Removed the lirc-modules-source and now the driver works again......

So there might be more than one error with this driver.....

Crashed it again, after loading lirc - trying the below link now I got it running.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/570700, but it is likely to have some reference with the problem.

HI!

the new kernel solved everything. Works perfect.
