Lirc update broke functionality

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-26 05:16:46

I updated my system today and now all the programs that use lirc(xbmc, mythtv...) all receive double key presses when i hit the button once making menu navigation almost impossible. Ive been using lirc with this remote for the last 6+ months with no issues..it only started doing this when i upgraded my machine today(lirc, the kernel and few other things got upgraded). I tried downgrading lirc to the previous version that worked fine but for whatever reason lirc now depends on the newest kernel and im unable to downgrade lirc without downgrading a bunch of other stuff.

All my key presses show up correctly in irw:

Id really like to get this fixed as soon as possible....my computer is my tv and not having it working properly like it used to is driving me nuts.

i uninstalled the lirc module and used the new in-kernel one, it's called mceusb, works great.

/edit: sorry, i didnt read your post carefully. i had the same problem as you. i'm using a custom kernel and just built the support for mceusb and IR to LIRC bridge, removing all other protocols options. that solved the issue.

/edit2:
eb64@drama:~$zcat /proc/config.gz | grep _IR_
CONFIG_IR_CORE=y
# CONFIG_IR_NEC_DECODER is not set
# CONFIG_IR_RC5_DECODER is not set
# CONFIG_IR_RC6_DECODER is not set
# CONFIG_IR_JVC_DECODER is not set
# CONFIG_IR_SONY_DECODER is not set
CONFIG_IR_LIRC_CODEC=y
# CONFIG_IR_IMON is not set
CONFIG_IR_MCEUSB=y
# CONFIG_IR_ENE is not set
# CONFIG_IR_STREAMZAP is not set

eb64@drama:~$zcat /proc/config.gz | grep RC_MA
# CONFIG_RC_MAP is not set

maybe see if you can blacklist some of these so you dont have to rebuild your kernel

/edit3: i suspect CONFIG_RC_MAP to be the culprit so maybe you can start with this.

/edit4: is this loaded?
rc-rc6-mce
if yes, blacklist it in rc.conf and see if it helps.

ah. i tried adding "!rc-rc6-mce" to the modules array in rc.conf...but when i rebooted it still gets loaded. Not sure how i can make sure it does not get loaded.

Also after playing around with it some lastnight...it seems like its a bug or something. If i hit up or down once it moves twice(in the menus of xbmc and mythtv)....if i hit the down button say 3 times in a row quickly it geeks out and rapid fires prob 30 key presses. Also it does not seem to effect every button. For instance while watching something in xbmc i can hit the info/more button and xbmc brings up a on screen display containing some info about the video....i can hit that button once and it acts normal....and brings up the menu. If i hit pause while watching something....it sends the double button so if i hit pause once...xbmc pauses/unpauses.

Im not any kind of expert with lirc...infact far from it i find lirc to be confusing.....but it really seems like arch linux should have researched this stuff a bit more before pushing out the updates.

uninstall lirc, it looks like it's still there. you dont need it anymore. then try to blacklist all that:
ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,rc_rc6_mce,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-26 22:54:46

Not sure i understand...how will lirc work without lirc installed?

bangkok_manouel · 2010-11-26 22:57:52

lirc are the kernel modules, they are now in the kernel tree. however, you still need lirc-utils.

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-26 22:58:46

ah. ok. i will try and remove lirc and blacklist those modules. will post back what happens.

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-26 23:08:04

i removed lirc....then blacklisted all those modules u listed so my modules array looked like

MODULES=(vboxdrv vboxnetflt !ir_sony_decoder !ir_jvc_decoder !ir_rc6_decoder !rc_rc6_mce !ir_rc5_decoder !ir_nec_decoder)

i then rebooted the machine....started xbmc...and the buttons are still not working right...and i still see a bunch of those modules in lsmod

bangkok_manouel · 2010-11-26 23:12:05

can you remove them manually? with the -f flag maybe if necessary.

/edit: what you can try
# rmmod -f rc_rc6_mce
then kill xbmc, restart lircd and finally restart xbmc

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-26 23:37:23

removing all the modules:

rmmod -f rc_rc6_mce
rmmod -f ir_sony_decoder
rmmod -f ir_jvc_decoder
rmmod -f ir_rc6_decoder
rmmod -f ir_rc5_decoder
rmmod -f ir_nec_decoder

so all that was left in lsmod was:

lsmod |grep -i lirc
ir_lirc_codec           3803  0 
lirc_dev                8500  1 ir_lirc_codec
ir_core                14133  3 ir_lirc_codec,mceusb

then restarting lirc and launching xbmc seems to have fixed this issue. Now im just wondering why i cannot blacklist those modules so when the computer boots they are not loaded.

I recompiled the kernel with the options taken out as suggested by bangkok and changed mceusb from a module to being compiled into the kernel. That seemed to work for me. Although, once the kernel gets updated again, I'll have to recompile to keep things working properly.

vparask · 2010-11-27 01:50:20

1. DO NOT remove lirc or REINSTALL it if you removed it
2. CHANGE rc.conf modules section to something like this

MODULES=(...... !ir_core lirc_mceusb ......)

3. reboot

THIS worked for me!

Wicked0ne · 2010-11-27 03:13:00

Do the modules in the modules array in rc.conf get overridden somewhere? i was unable to stop them from being loaded at boot....im thinking that something somewhere else is causing them to still get loaded.

this should work (I didn't try but I'll happily believe you) but it's already obsolete. modules have been merged into mainline, this is the way to go.

rocktorrentz · 2010-11-28 12:29:37

I've got the same problem, which is annoying as I and my housemates use our Boxee setup daily. I've tried all the suggestions in this thread short of recompiling my kernel. The remote is a cheap Medion RF remote that worked using lirc_atiusb module until I upgraded last night. I'm surprised not even vparask's approach works, when that setup worked for me with the old kernel Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Perre · 2010-11-28 21:26:06

I managed to remove the double key problem by following vparasks instruction and removing the lirc deamon from the DAEMONS line in rc.conf.
BUT, while the directional buttons are still working the ok button is not (in xbmc). Is lirc still reading the correct lircrc file??

I'm not getting a double press problem, my problem is that NOTHING happens when I press keys, whatever I do with kernel modules. I'm using irw to test and getting no output anymore

falconindy · 2010-11-28 21:56:17

This thread inspired me to go update my htpc. Encountered, as expected, the double key press issue (using an mceusb remote). Removed lirc (the package), rebooted, and it persisted. Copied over a new remote config file from /usr/share/lirc/... and restarted lircd. Fixed!

edit: false positive. behavior returns after a reboot... oy...

Hello *,

some remotes now act as normal input devices. You can list these: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

(1) The Problem for example in XBMC is, that now you press for example the up key on the remote two "events" occur: (A) The key press comes now as normal input event (new feature in this kernel) like pressing up on your keyboard. (B) The event gets interpreted by the lirc daemon the second time.

(2) Solution (get the old behaviour; prevent remote acting as a normal input device):
/etc/rc.d/lircd stop
modprobe -r mceusb
modprobe -r lirc_mceusb
modprobe lirc_mceusb
/etc/rc.d/lircd start

To make this persist: Prevent module mceusb from loading in the rc.conf: MODULES=(... !mceusb ...)

(3) Have fun!

falconindy · 2010-11-29 14:43:52

So wouldn't it be sufficient to just use the kernel (mceusb) module and not run the lirc daemon? Would rather not install extra/lirc if it's just duplicating functionality.

ctxfi-user · 2010-11-29 14:58:51

You're right. But... XBMC example again: The power key on the mce remote is used to shutdown or close xbmc. In the new kernel feature the power button key on the remote does the same as the power button of the computer. In Gnome this means you get the shutdown dialog when you only wanted to close XBMC. Plus: Although there are keycodes (take a look with showkey) for every button on the mce remote, only some can be mapped using Gnome settings (seems to be a xmodmap or X.org thing?). I think it will take a while until the new feature can replace the old "lirc architecture". The tool ir-keymap does not the job yet... or what is it for?

ctxfi-user · 2010-11-29 18:41:14

ok ok ok, i re-read the thread... so my last answer was a bit odd... so, you're absolutely right, falconindy, i misunderstood all...

i removed lirc and noticed that i don't like the ir_rc6_decoder. this seems to realize the new "normal input feature". blacklisting it in rc.conf did not the trick, it still gets loaded. in my case this is why i load the mantis module for my dvb-s2 card, which depends on mantis_core, which depends on ir_core. ir_core loads the ir_*_decoder stuff.

the blacklisting don't affect "cascaded" module loadings? or is it a bug?

i resolved this quick and dirty with modprobe -r ir_rc6_decoder in rc.local.

Perre · 2010-11-29 19:47:39

I removed lirc and I still have functionality (like I mentioned in my post yesterday), but the ok button still isn't working. Damn.
I tried ctxfi-users solution (modprobing and all) before removing lirc and that worked. But only until rebooting even when I had 'modprobe -r lirc-mceusb' in rc.local.

When testing showkey the button presses are registered, but it's not working in xbmc. Is the problem caused by xbmc not finding the config file for my mceusb?
