I just updated my lirc on my Ubuntu 10.04 with Dharma. After reboot my MCE Remote doesn't work on XBMC and my IRexec does also not work.

Any idea what to do?

EDIT: I guess there is a new file, and the old one has been renamed.

Does anybody know what the old file might be called now?

yep me to
You just need to go the /etc/lirc/ dir and rename the
old files to the orig names
eg lircd.conf.dpkg.old to lircd.conf there should be 2 files to change and reboot

What old file do I need to rename? I have some as you see. =)

EDIT: I fixed my lircd.conf, but what about the hardware part?

EDIT2:

Code:

htpc@htpc-desktop:/etc/lirc$ diff hardware.conf hardware.conf.old
4,5c4,5
< REMOTE="None"
< REMOTE_MODULES=""
---
> REMOTE="Windows Media Center Remotes (new version Philips et al.)"
> REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
7,8c7,8
< REMOTE_DEVICE=""
< REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
---
> REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
> REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
20c20
< START_LIRCD="false"
---
> START_LIRCD="true"

Code:

htpc@htpc-desktop:/etc/lirc$ diff hardware.conf hardware.conf.dpkg-dist
7a8
> REMOTE_SOCKET=""
15a17
> TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
39,41d40
< START_LIRCMD=""
< REMOTE_SOCKET=""
< TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""

I guess it's the .old I should restore?

Hi Mate
all I did was restore lircd.conf.dpkg.old to lircd.conf hardware.conf.old to hardware.conf
and rebooted and all was well....to be fair I got caught out on an update/upgrade on a fresh reinstall
I used the mv -i command to rename overwrite the file
Cheers

I have a full 10.4 install w/ xbmc. I have been delaying my updates to avoid this type of thing. (I treat my system as an appliance and not a computer) Is there any way to tell Ubuntu to not remind you about updates? From what I can tell you can set it for a 2 week reminder but then it keeps popping up, even over top of XBMC and that's really annoying.
