Re: Getting LIRC to work under systemd [SOLVED]

Hello everybody. I've some problems with lirc running correctly. I'm using X10 receiver and transmitter from Medion. My problem is that lirc0 is not created.
I used lirc.service from this topic.

[karolp1993@Karol-PC multi-user.target.wants]$ cat lirc.service
[Unit]
Description=LIRC Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/lircd.conf
PIDFile=/run/lirc/lircd.pid
ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /run/lirc
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /dev/lircd
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /run/lirc/lircd
ExecStartPre=/bin/ln -s /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd -d $LIRC_DEVICE -P /run/lirc/lircd.pid -H $LIRC_DRIVER $LIRC_CONFIGFILE
ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -f /dev/lircd
ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -fR /run/lirc
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/ir-keytable --protocol=LIRC

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

lirc.service seems to running correctly

end remote

I'm not sure if remote control works, few months ago works fine, now i don't know - is it possible to check it somehow?

EDIT:

Solved, remote works wink

Re: Getting LIRC to work under systemd [SOLVED]

My happiness was too soon sad My remote doesn't work after reboot, worked once, i don't know why.
My lirc.service:

[Unit]
Description=LIRC Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking

PIDFile=/run/lirc/lircd.pid

ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -fR /run/lirc
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/ir-keytable --protocol=LIRC

[Install]

And status:

And, there is a problem:
When i run "irw" nothing is happened.

[karolp1993@Karol-PC ~]$ irw
[karolp1993@Karol-PC ~]$ irw
[karolp1993@Karol-PC ~]$ irw
connect: No such file or directory

After third try, lirc go to inactive..

	Main PID: 1472 (code=killed, signal=TERM)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/lirc.service

Lircd.conf is that as above.

Somebody know what is the problem?

Re: Getting LIRC to work under systemd [SOLVED]

Stop the lirc service:

sudo systemctl stop lirc.service

Remove your hardware and plug it back in.

Determine the actual address of the IR hardware as the system sees it:

ls /dev/input/by-path

or 

ls /dev/input/by-path | grep ir

Insert the address of into file 

/etc/conf.d/lircd.conf

for 

LIRC_DEVICE=".."

When you reboot the device is remapped to another eventX location based on the order in which other peripherals in the system respond. It's possible to make the IR stationary but first try the above plug and we'll debug thereafter.

Re: Getting LIRC to work under systemd [SOLVED]

@wdirksen:..

Are you still having problems or did you manage to sort/abandon it?

/var/run/lirc/lircd points to /run/lirc/lircd and are effectively the same object. This is a UNIX-type socket.

MythTV works differently to XBMC for input from RC/keybd. MythTV reads keymaps through LIRC, To get any functionality beyond basic alphanumeric/Up/Down, you have to route "extended keys" through dreadful LIRC I'm afraid to say.
XBMC on the other hand reads the key maps directly from those maps bundled with the Linux kernel. I've found more and better functionality in this feature than having to manually setup key maps not once but twice through LIRC. Once for the general collection of keys, and second for those keys specific to each application.
