No matter the sensitivity set up in the Harmony Remote control, sometimes one keypress triggers a neverending cycle of keypresses and xbmc wil not function anymore. The only solution to this is to setup the harmony as mce remote. And, as mentioned, this does not work on Ubuntu 10.10.
However the bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...)describes provides a workaround, which basically removes the new faulting lirc_imon kernel driver and installs the old one:
- remove the default kernel's /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_imon.ko (which does not work, as well)
- install lirc-modules-source package (this will add an old, but working lirc_imon.ko to the module directory)
- Add this blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-imon.conf:
blacklist ir_core
blacklist ir_lirc_codec
blacklist ir_sony_decoder
blacklist ir_jvc_decoder
blacklist ir_rc6_decoder
blacklist ir_rc5_decoder
blacklist ir_nec_decoder
blacklist rc_imon_pad
blacklist imon
- Add this entry to /etc/modules:
lirc_imon
- Add this parameter to /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_imon.conf:
options lirc_imon ir_protocol=1
With this I can control xbmc with the mce remote on an antec fusion with imon reciever and now ubuntu doesn't see the remote's inpute as keyboard presses.
What if I upgraded to kernel 2.6.37-RC2? Do I need to remove the kernels lirc_imon.ko module?
