I've spent several hours trying to get this working.
It seems that the USB-UIRT receiver is detected by LIRC is running fine. I'm thinking it is just a hardware.conf problem. Can someone post a working one?
thanks!
Well, I suggest you use the hardware.conf exactly as they are on the link you were provided with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lirc_USB-UIRT.

Did this, LIRC will not start. It does start with other configs I've been using.
Did you also remember to run "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start"?
always!
Did you configure remotes (/etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /etc/lirc/lircrc)[QUOTE]
Tried several from http://lircconfig.commandir.com/lircd.conf and others I found around the web.
You probably need to man lirc or lircd to figure out where the log is. That or try running it from the command line and hope it outputs some error message to the screen.
what hardware are you using for your remote/receiver?
xbox dongle to usb guide.

As a Linux noobie I'm frustrated, sorry. I know enough to get around in Linux but all the posted info for LIRC to get this running is 1 or 2 LIRC versions old.
Let me explain better...
Spent over 2 days searching Linux forums, googling, reading all the wiki's, how-to's and troubleshooting threads I could find.
[ubuntu] Need LIRC config help - Ubuntu Forums::
XBOX remote. I have tried so many different hardware.conf I lost count. Anyone got a USB-UIRT working on 8.04? Thank you for any help you can give to this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=836684HOME |
My setup...
Ubuntu x64 8.04 ... all updates installed
LIRC 0.8.3 pre1 ... installed using package manager
USB-UIRT ... Linux detects device fine (dmesg shows as /dev/ttyUSB0) + works on XP fine
XBOX remote codes (using Harmony with my XBOX XBMC)
I have tried so many different hardware.conf I lost count. I even tried compiling my own LIRC.
Once I get it installed and not failing during LIRC start... half the time IRW throws a 'Connection refused' and the rest it just sits there waiting so it must not be detecting any IR.
I cannot figure out which MODULES and DRIVERS I should be loading in the hardware.conf ? I actually seems like it should be working. I've tried using UIRT2_RAW and USB_UIRT_RAW (drivers) and several LIRCD.CONF from here: http://lircconfig.commandir.com/lircd.conf/
No /dev/lirc is being created (not sure if it should be, I cannot find any real definitive info on this)
here's the Hardware.conf...
REMOTE="Windows Media Center Remotes (new version Philips et al.)"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="usb_uirt_raw"
#REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_DEVICE=""
#REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="-d /dev/ttyUSB0"
TRANSMITTER="USB-UIRT2 : Dish Receiver"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER="usb_uirt_raw"
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
#TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="dish/general.conf"
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"
START_LIRCMD=""
LOAD_MODULES=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
I already have a perfectly good (actually great) device... sends and receives IR which is exactly what I need.
I've been working on LIRC for 2 days and still cannot get my USB-UIRT working with Linux. I'm not a Linux hater but I've wasted 2 days on getting it working when it takes 2 seconds in Windows so Linux is trying hard to make me hate it.
Lack of (useful) assistance from the Linux community and lack of easy-to-install drivers are HUGE reasons Linux is still 0.61% to 2% (depending on which survey you use) total desktop market share. IMO, this is a pitty as I like Linux, once it is actually working.
I'm about to convert to the Windows version... can anyone help keep me on Linux?
The hardware.conf file just controls how the lirc daemon is started - you could try starting it your self with the appropriate command options, and then it should display errors to standard out. You probably want something like this:
lircd -n -H usb_uirt_raw -d /dev/ttyUSB0
The -n makes the daemon run in the foreground so you can see all the output. You may need to run the command as root.
@malloc
there is no /var/log/lircd being created it seems. I have verified that LIRC is running and has /var/run/lircd1.pid
one more thing I forgot...
using cat /dev/ttyUSB0 I can see code run across when I use the remote
so it must be seeing the IR ?
So where's the other output I was looking for? /var/log/lircd was the main one I was interested in.
Sounds like a project to learn how to solder with....
original xbox remote and dongle coverted to usb.
I gave up on this. I installed Vista and after installing LM Remote KeyMap It was working 2 minutes later. I may try Linux again once XBMC has tighter integration with LIRC and/or LIRC has better community support in their forums... as I got no help there.
thx guy, sorry I did not want to keep spinning my wheels on this.
Any idea if this (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-6m-49-en-70-czu.html) would work?Yes, that and any similar adapter will work. Loads of them for sale on eBay.
There is no electronics involved, it just the plug format that is different, other than that it is just a USB cabel.
@Al
I completely agree... I've been trying the Linux community outside XBMC and getting nowhere. I was hoping that there were some Linux guru's here that would be willing to help as I think the fix is going to be easy for someone that knows Linux and LIRC.
@malloc
thanks for helping. Here's the output you wanted...

Did you go to the link that I provided? It gives you a hardware.conf file to use. Tells you which modules and drivers to use.
Also, if everything is working and you run irw at the command line, it will sit there and do nothing until you press a key on your remote. Then it will spit out the command that corresponds to the button you just pressed.
I'll stick to software.
Well, I suggest you use the hardware.conf exactly as they are on the link you were provided with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lirc_USB-UIRT. Did you also remember to run "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start"? Did you configure remotes (/etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /etc/lirc/lircrc)?

...VERY old and outdated just like everything else I can find posted.
I'm giving it 2 days, if not bye-bye Linux.
So any luck with command line or man pages?
It might be helpful if you posted the output of /var/log/lircd (pastebin) so we could see if there are any error messages. Would also be helpful to see your hardware.conf along with the output of "dmesg grep -i usb". I know you say it's detected, but I never trust a n00b.
You might be less frustrated if you were in the correct forum. You're going to have much better luck getting things to working in LINUX in a LINUX forum (ie the Ubuntu Forums). If you get it working in LINUX and it still doesn't work in XBMC, then bring your question to the XBMC forums. Most of the people here never used Linux until XBMC was ported either and are just as much noobies as you are. Wouldn't it make more sense to try to resolve these things in a place with more experienced users?

Any idea if this (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-6m-49-en-70-czu.html) would work?
So what exactly are you giving two days? Is it going to take you two days to run through the instructions in that post linked? Is it going to take you two days to cut and paste the working hardware.conf that somebody linked you? There are plenty of people here that can help you if you could be a little more descriptive about what your problem is. I haven't even seen any error messages posted by you. Maybe the lack of Linux support is due to the lack of mind readers in the world. And by the way, before you go through the hassle of installing Windows, know that xbmc runs much better on Linux than windows currently. But then, I kind of doubt you're using xbmc if you're so quick to switch to Windows.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lirc_USB-UIRT
ugh, soldering. not for me.
You've got it backwards. Linux has no support because it only has 2% of the market share, not the other way around. And if you think a forum post that is less than two years old is outdated then maybe you should check the date on Windows XP.
Did you go to the link that I provided? It gives you a hardware.conf file to use. Tells you which modules and drivers to use.
Also, if everything is working and you run irw at the command line, it will sit there and do nothing until you press a key on your remote. Then it will spit out the command that corresponds to the button you just pressed.
Yes I have read about 20 pages worth of how-to's including that one. That hardware.conf and the other 8 or so variations I tried did not work.
My point was that IRW does nothing WHEN I push a button on the remote and CAT shows activity... thus the remote work, the UIRT works, Linux "sees" the UIRT... the problem IS LIRC.
I'm a noobie with Linux but a 15 year vet with windoz/puters/servers/networking/etc... not a complete idiot. ???
I need some guidance from someone that really understands LIRC or has gotten USB-UIRT working themselves. I've posted in the Ubuntu & LIRC forum and have yet to get any response.
could you link to instructions for converting the dongle to usb?
