Description Artemy Kapitula, Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions 2011-05-21 17:27:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

LIRC daemon does not start

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 15, lirc-0.9.0-1.fc15

How reproducible:

Try to start LIRC daemon (service lric start)

  
Actual results:

LIRC daemon does not starts

Expected results:

LIRC daemon had to start

Additional info:

The reason is that LIRC daemon tries to write into /var/run/lirc,
but this directory doesn't exists (/var/run mounted as tmpfs with systemd).
Adding the string like

if [ ! -e /var/run/lirc ] ; then mkdir /var/run/lirc; fi

into /etc/init.d/lirc solves the problem
