It's been almost a year and I'm still stuck here:

@jbernardo:

Looks like we have the exact same remote (PCremote), so I copied your variation of lircd.conf.

But no matter what, I keep getting this:

Code:

$ irw
connect: Connection refused

jbernardo, are you still using that remote? Do you or anyone using /dev/input/by-id/usb-073a_2230-event-mouse care to post the files involved?

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Here are mine:

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf:

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control

REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-073a_2230-event-mouse"

REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"
LOAD_MODULES="true"
LIRCMD_CONF=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf: see http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/linux-inpu...lircd.conf

If I try through inputlirc instead using this guide, I get this, which makes more sense to me, because the remote is active as a mouse and keyboard as soon as the usb receiver is plugged in.

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/inputlirc restart
