[SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

I have a laptop with a built in ENE eHome Infrared Remote Receiver and a Harmony remote as an MCE remote which was working fine a few weeks ago (maybe more), then it stopped working, I guess, after an update..
After trying for two days, I have now reinstalled my arch system (no big deal, this lappy is just a media center) just in case i might have messed something somewhere without knowing.
Sitll doesnt work. ir-keytable -r show no output from my remote.
Here is the output of some commands:

ir-keytable -v

There are no errors  anywhere that i can see. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I am not using lirc.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

bump.
Anyone have a clue? I even tried to get this to work by installing and configuring lirc. still no output even though the receiver is detected.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Any chance you have migrated from initscripts to systemd ?
Is the lircd daemon running?

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

i have migrated to systemd, however the problem was there even using initscrips.
I have removed lirc. i only installed it to see if that would work. I would prefer not to use it so i have less links in the chain.
when i tried lirc, lircd was running. had to make a unit file for it, and i found it on the wiki. neither irw nor mode2 would produce any output. just like ir-keytable -t doesnt.
I'm really stuck...

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Yeah, I use lircd (when I need ir), but I did notice that systemd does not start it without a bit of fiddling.  I don't have many more suggestions, save one...

Is your IR remote working?  Here is a neat trick:  Did you know that most CMOS cameras, especially cheep ones (think cellphone cameras) have a sensitivity that extends into the near IR where the human eye cannot see?  if you point your camera at an IR device and look at the LCD "view finder", you can see the IR LED in remote controls light up.  Look at a wii console's "Sensor bar" with a camera sometime.  The magic is actually the camera in the remote looking for the two LEDs at the console.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Holy crap!!! that is freaking cool! i just tried it with my cell phone. Thanks for that neat trick big_smile
I'm sure my remote works. I dual boot with windows and it works there. I really dont even know where to start about this. there are no errors anywhere that i can see.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Okay, Try this:

sudo od -x /dev/input/event8

And try your remote.

If that does not work, Lets try a sanity check with

cat /sys/class/input/event?/device/name

and make sure your IR device name is on the 9th line of the output

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Oh, and I have configured my harmony remote as an MCE remote (like it's always been) and an MCE keyboard because I read someone got it to work like that. Neither works.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

wow we have the same receiver.. no problem, i'll gladly wait. at least i know now that it will work somehow.
Do you have an MSI GX620 laptop?

It is an HP Pavilion DV4.  Any chance you need one or more of the decoder modules?  I did not see them in your lsmod output.

Unfortunately, I have to call it a night.  I'll get back to this thread in the morning to early afternoon (UTC-7).  If you are still fighting this, I'll fire up my stock kernel and see where that leads.

Edit: Never mind, I looked at you lsmod; They are there.  I'll get back to you...

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

i tried to fiddle with removing modules using rmmod but that didnt work. i might compile a custom kernel using the vanilla mainline kernel but that'll be tomorrow, i have to sleep now.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Compiled a custom kernel using vanilla mainline 3.5 as base. Didn't work sad
I used the arch 3.4 .config pretty much.

ewaller, let me know if the vanilla kernel works for you.

edit:
i meant stock kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Hi, I got home to work and found I had a "honeydew" list (The married version of a "gopher" list).  I did not get back to this as soon after work as I had planned.  Sorry about that.

Yes, it works just fine on this system with the stock kernel using systemd.  I booted to a console, and dumped the /dev/input/event7 through od to the console.  It worked just fine with the IR transmitter that comes with my DV4.

What does not work, is the Sony IR transmitter from my TV.  I had never tried that before.  The other interesting bit is that, on this system, the event nodes do not instantiate in the same order from one boot to the next.  The numbering seems more than random, but less than deterministic

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

Thanks ewaller for taking the time to help. I really don't understand what could be wrong. previously my receiver worked right off the bat on a fresh install with ir-keytable -t
I didnt even need lirc but i could also get that to work. a few weeks ago it stopped working, maybe 2 kernel updates back?

edit:
Tried the LTS kernel. It didn't work either. Maybe its just a configuration problem? I'm giving up for now. I'll post back if i come up with something. In the meantime, I'm still subscribed to this thread so if anyone reading this has an idea i can try, i'm all ears.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

I've filed a bug report for this issue:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31070

I installed the old Kernel from the archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64 iso and my receiver worked again. same laptop, same arch install, all that changed was the kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

G'day guys,

Sorry to bump a really old thread but I'm having this exact problem on kernel 4.6.3-1 and after a week of trying to get this to work and scouring many forums I think I need help now.

I'm a complete Arch noob and this is my first install. It's been a steep learning curve to say the least smile

Like this original poster the remote partly worked out of the box.
I think it broke when I installed lirc but I don't know why? I can't find a good run down of how lirc connects to everything. Every one just says do this and do that without explaining for complete noobs how it all connects or why we should run said command.

Like the original poster I since uninstalled lirc and am trying to get something back from ir-keytable -t.

Here's the info from my system which I hope may help...

$ sudo ir-keytable -v

Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815)
PC Speaker

I can see the LED light up on the receiver when I press the buttons so I know it's "receiving".

I don't know where the fusion remote is coming from? Could that be from the TV Card itself?
Should I disable that if I'm only using the MCE remote?

If so how?

I'd appreciate any help with this please.

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

And I just realised that I had to re-enable the rc-6 protocol and it's working again!

Wow! smile

Cool.   I shall now use this opportunity to close this really old thread.
