Description of problem: lircd can't create /var/run/lirc/lirc.pid Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lirc-0.9.0-0.1.pre1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: starting lirc_serial Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: /var/run/lirc/lirc.pid can't created because the folder /var/run/lirc/ doesn't exits Expected results: lird should create /var/run/lirc/lirc.pid Additional info: The problem is that systemd create /var/run as tmpfs. So after a restart the folder /var/run/lirc/ is missing. I solved the problem as i create a /etc/tmpfiles.d/lirc.conf file. lirc.conf: d /var/run/lirc 0755 root root With that file the systemd 'systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service' create a folder /var/run/lirc/ at startup. And lircd can create /var/run/lirc/lirc.pid.
