Hey everyone,
for quite a long time I keep getting the next message on boot:
unable to open ftdi device: -3 (device not found)Although it seems to do no harm, I kind of got sick of them and traced my boot and pacman log files until it marked "libftdi" for me.
libftdi is required by lirc-utils, which in its turn required by mplayer and xawtv (using both). All I could find on google with the exact error was related to actual ftdi devices (and as much as I know, I don't have any, nor need one).
How can I get rid of these messages? I could try to -Rdd it and see if the packages above can run without, but that would drag me into force install on updates.. Is there an easier solution?
