Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Enable lircmd from systemd systemctl enable lircmd.service Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure lirc 2. start lircmd at boot 3. Actual results: does not start. Must launch from prompt sudo lircmd -u even starting manually from systemd on command line does nothing, logs no errors Expected results: works Additional info: I am using an oddball of an IR device. It uses ftdi_sio and generates device /dev/ttyUSB0 Had a problem with the main lircd that was very similar a couple of years ago that turned out to be an SELINUX issue. I have set selinux to permissive and started lircmd from terminal prompt and get no audit log entries, still doesn't start. The main lircd service works just fine from systemd, it is only lircmd maybe permission issue with /dev/uinput or maybe /dev/ttyUSB0 again. Everything looks fine, and it works from the command line without issue.
On a side not. When generating a new bug from scratch. The full component listing did not show up. It was only a very small subset. I had to start the bug under base-system and then edit after creation. The result was the same in both Firefox and Chrome.
Works for me. Note that I don't use any lirc configuration, but from systemd's point of view, there's nothing to fix. # rpm -q systemd lirc systemd-219-18.fc22.x86_64 lirc-0.9.2a-1.fc22.x86_64 # systemctl enable lircd Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/lircd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/lircd.service. # systemctl reboot ... # systemctl status lircd ● lircd.service - LIRC Infrared Signal Decoder Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lircd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2015-06-17 12:43:49 CEST; 3min 23s ago Main PID: 772 (lircd) CGroup: /system.slice/lircd.service └─772 /usr/sbin/lircd --nodaemon Jun 17 12:43:49 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started LIRC Infrared Signal Decoder.

Aha, I just noticed that it's lircmd.service, not lircd.service. There are actually both on the system.
Still, it works. The lircmd.service is socket-activated, therefore it looks as it wasn't enabled after start, but in fact its socket was. # systemctl cat lircmd.service # /usr/lib/systemd/system/lircmd.service [Unit] Description=LIRC Infrared Mouse Event Signal Decoder Wants=lircd.socket [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircmd --nodaemon [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Note the "Wants=lircd.socket".
