Hi all,

I have faced a problem with using lirc 0.8.6 on Ubuntu910.
/dev/lirc0 will not be created on reboot. Somehow it is related
module lirc_mceusb loading.
What I have done is basic Ubuntu910 desktop installation and after that
compiled Lirc 0.8.6 from source. I had to compile it to get my USB IR-receiver
to work. The device Realtek eHome IR receiver (0bda:0161) was not listed in lirc
source. Added the vendor information and the usb device information to lirc_mceusb.c
source file. After that compiled the lirc and installed. Everything good so far.
Then commands;
sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb
sudo /etc/lirc restart

lirc0 is created to /dev/ and everything works ok, response is right to irw.

After a reboot no lirc0 created and no response to irw....

Have to do;
sudo rmmod lirc_mceusb
sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb (after this lirc0 is created)
sudo /etc/lirc restart

Then everything works again.

If someone has knowlegde or a hint to help with this problem, everything is greatly appreciated. The goal is to get xbmc up, running and controlled
with remote.

You could try apt-get purge lirc; apt-get install lirc

You could try apt-get purge lirc; apt-get install lirc

I think that will get the whole new package and then the modified sources are lost and my ir-receiver will not be identified at all...?
