(workaround)[lirc] slow boot and systemd error message

Hello,

I have just upgraded lirc to the 1:0.9.3-1 version,

and I notice problems :

- the start of KDE 4.x is very slow, the boot stops for 30 seconds ( lircd service seems to take a long time to load )

- when I exit KDE there is a problem : systemd stops for 1m30 seconds with the message "a stop job is running for lircd"

and when I see in journalctl I see these messages :

lircd-0.9.3[554]: Info: Initial device: /dev/lirc0
lircd-0.9.3[554]: Debug: No device found: /sys/class/rc/rc0/lirc0
lircd-0.9.3[554]: Debug: No device found: /sys/class/rc/rc1/lirc0

lircd[554]: lircd-0.9.3[554]: Info: Using remote: LeadTekWinfastDTV1000.

the workaround is to downgrade to the previous version of lirc ( lirc 1:0.9.2.a-1 ),

maybe lirc needs to be rebuilt for kernel 4.2 ?

or there are some bugs in 1:0.9.3-1 version ( upstream bugs )

rebuilding the lirc package doesn't solve the problem

Re: (workaround)[lirc] slow boot and systemd error message

I found another workaround by changing my configuration file with another configuration, there is no bugs with 0.9.3 if I use a different configuration file for my leadtek winfast DTV1000 remote control :

maybe the 0.9.3 version uses a different syntax for the configuration file, new keywords for example
