Description Bastien Nocera 2008-04-02 12:55:08 UTC
lirc-0.8.3-0.2.pre1.fc9.i386

In /etc/sysconfig/lirc:
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-d /dev/ttyS3"
(which is supposed to be a Fast IR device)

Trying to connect to it using irw just asserts.

#0  0x00110416 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0x003684b0 in raise (sig=<value optimized out>) at

521					dosigterm(SIGTERM);
(gdb) list
516				if(!hw.init_func())
517				{
518					shutdown(clis[0],2);
519					close(clis[0]);
520					clin=0;
521					dosigterm(SIGTERM);
522				}
523			}
524		}
525	}

It should just print a warning, not exit.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Never mind.

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-12 00:26:32 UTC
Right, reproduced with a better use case, reopening.

1. Launch newly installed machine
2. Plug in USB receiver for the remote
3. Set it up using gnome-lirc-properties
4. Use happily with applications

5. Unplug receiver
6. Launch application, no worries, no lirc support but no receiver
7. Launch application again, lircd has quit in between, my application gives me an error!

This happens between 6 and 7:
Aug 12 01:20:58 cookie lircd-0.8.3[3240]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd•
Aug 12 01:20:58 cookie lircd-0.8.3[3240]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0•
Aug 12 01:20:58 cookie lircd-0.8.3[3240]: default_init(): No such file or directory•
Aug 12 01:20:58 cookie lircd-0.8.3[3240]: caught signal•

lircd should be kept running, just doing nothing. There's no point in it quitting, just messing up the rest of the setup.

Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-14 09:09:00 UTC
Patch send upstream at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.lirc/6889

Jarod, Ville, what do you reckon?

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-22 23:41:40 UTC
Built in rawhide with the patch that was committed upstream.
