lircd: could not get file information
Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 3:26 am
[PROBLEM]
I got this errormessage in /var/log/lircd:
lirc is looking for /dev/lirc, but with kernel 2.6 and udev it's /dev/lirc0 by default, so it needs to be symlinked.
Lucky me found this info in a thread:

lirc is looking for /dev/lirc, but with kernel 2.6 and udev it's /dev/lirc0 by default, so it needs to be symlinked.
Lucky me found this info in a thread:
Either set in /etc/conf.d/lircd
LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc0"
or set a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules
KERNEL="lirc0", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="lirc"
