I have an lirc_mceusb2 remote. I followed the MythTV guide for this remote, and irw detects the key presses but things like xev and the actual OS doesnt respond to the remote
lsusb
dmesg
Not really sure where to go from here because the mythtv guide stops are irw and assumes the remote is working
I am still working on it.
Lirc version is 0.8.4a I tried building the newest snapshot from source but everytime I run the configure I get an error saying "Dialog not found"
I read the documentation but there was no clues as to what this means
Any help out there?
EDIT: the dialog error means that I didn't have the dialog package installed
EDIT 2: compiling the latest from source hasn't yielded anything new
EDIT 3: Further update the mceusb2 driver has my remote included
still dont know what hte problem is
EDIT 4: can confirm that the lircrc file is setup correctly, at least it looks that way. Still digging
Code:
leoniteous@leoniteous-laptop ~ $ sudo irw
