[Bug 668427] New: Lirc 0.8.7 is unuseable with kernel 2.6.37
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668427 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668427#c0 Summary: Lirc 0.8.7 is unuseable with kernel 2.6.37 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vodicka.petr@email.cz QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; cs-CZ; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 SUSE/3.6.13-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.13 Lirc 0.8.7, which is used in recent factory version of OpenSUSE 11.4, supports kernel 2.6.35. If I tried to use this combination of kernel and lirc, /dev/lirc0 device is created (kernel driver is working correctly), but lircd deamon is unable to read data from that. Log from /var/log/messages: Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: could not get hardware features Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: this device driver does not support the LIRC ioctl interface Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: major number of /dev/lirc0 is 251 Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: LIRC major number is 61 Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: check if /dev/lirc0 is a LIRC device Jan 22 00:57:10 vodic-server lircd-0.8.7[2050]: Failed to initialize hardware There is some change in ioctl in version 2.6.36+, so more recent version of lirc have to be used (0.9.0-pre1 from http://lirc.org/software/snapshots/ or recent git version). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSUSE 11.4 RC5 2. Create configuration for IR remote control (for example serial homebrew receiver) 3. Start lircd daemon Actual Results: Remote control is not working Expected Results: Working remote control -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
