From torsten.crass at eBiology.de Fri Jul 3 11:00:10 2015 From: torsten.crass at eBiology.de (Torsten Crass) Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2015 13:00:10 +0200 Subject: [Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#790969: lircd stopped recognizing codes Message-ID: <55966B3A.4090707@eBiology.de> Package: lirc Version: 0.9.0~pre1-1.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I am using a home-brew serial receiver in conjunction with an All In One URC 7730 remote control in DVD mode with preset 0695 for our HTPC. This setup has served me well for almost 10 years, but since a couple of weeks or so (unfortunately, I can't figure out since how long exactly), lircd obviously has trouble recognizing the keys pressed on the remote. mode2 still shows nice pulses and spaces, and so does xmode2, but irw rarely ever outputs a recognized key press. (The system journal, however, shows frequent "Ignoring spike" messages. Don't recall if I've had those before, though.) I also tried to re-create the lircd.conf file using irrecord, but this failed for various reasons: - A lircd.conf created when forcing irrecord into raw mode doesn't lead to any recognized key presses. - When not in raw mode, irrecord detects the remote to use either the RC-5 or RC-6 protocol. In the former case, each attemt to record a key press results in a "Something went wrong" message, while in the latter case irrecord exits complaining about not having detected a toggle bit mask. Frankly, I don't know for sure if this is a lirc problem since according to the change log there were no changes in the lirc package since January. To me it seems more likely that the trouble was introduces by some other package (possibly used by lircd) when I did a system upgrade (which I usually do about once a month). But since I don't have a clue which package this might be, I am reporting this to the lirc bug tracker.
