Package:lirc<br>Version: 0.8.0-3<br>Severity: important<br>Tags: experimental<br><br>Since ubuntu/dapper doesn't include a usable version of LIRC, I took lirc from debian<br>testing.
It appears that IR transmissions aren't functional in dapper. IR
reception (using mceusb & mceusb2 drivers) seems to work fine.
<br>I have used transmitters that are proven to be working on WinLirc machines, and a configuration<br>known to be working on a gentoo machine. I verified this on my personal amd64 box, a mythtv x86 server,<br>and a mythtv x86 frontend. The IR diode will light up, but only for a short period of time as compared to
<br>a working IR transmission from gentoo.<br><br>-- System Information:<br>Debian Release: testing/unstable<br> APT prefers dapper-updates<br> APT policy: (500, 'dapper-updates'), (500, 'dapper-security'), (500, 'dapper')
