Arch Linux

I notice also another problems with lirc-1:0.9.3-1 :

- the start of KDE 4.x is very slow, the boot stops for 30 seconds

- 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

If I downgrade to lirc 1:0.9.2.a-1 then all is Ok, no bugs, no slow boot, no error message with systemd,

so there is a problem with lirc-1:0.9.3-1

rebuilding the lirc package doesn't solve the problem,

it's seems an upstream bug

@patrick, have tried 0.9.2.a - yes, it does work for me also.

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 :

@Andrew Gaydenko : you can try also to change something in your configuration in order to see if it can help with the 0.9.3 version of lirc,

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

@patrick, thanks, I will dig in and report.

I haven't found any configuration changes I must follow.

I have tried to recreate lircd.conf from the beginning (that is using irrecord utility), and it generates something very strange (say, 'bits 64' for 13 bit RC). I have tried to build 0.9.3 from sources with the same result.

Also, I have tried 0.9.3 with linux-lts, and the issue still exists. So, as patrick has guessed earlier, I also guess the issue is an upstream one. Task title must be changed, but not sure how to name it.

The issue was resolved by upstream about two weeks ago. So the issue must be closed, I guess.

Unfortunately, the package is still flagged to be updated in Arch repo. Can anybody from the Arch team update it? Thanks!

Probably ok to close: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/lirc&id=50174302f8f0ec8fbe68547cfb7c69a010b2b353

It's OK for mew to close, thanks!
