Hi Since I did my latest update on the weekend which included a udev update. lircd will not start from the init script provided. However, lircd will start from commandline and when added to /etc/conf.d/local.start. This behaviour has been consistent on 2 systems. 1 is an opteron170 (32 bit march=athlon-xp). The other is a Pentium4 (32-bit march=i686) The output in /var/log/messages when trying to run a client (irw) is Apr 28 14:28:54 media1 lircd-0.8.3pre1[15321]: initializing '/dev/usb/hiddev0' Apr 28 14:28:54 media1 lircd-0.8.3pre1[15321]: unable to open '/dev/usb/hiddev0' I can manually run lircd using lircd --driver=dvico --device=/dev/hiddev0 My /etc/conf.d/lircd file contains the following line which worked without issue before the update. LIRCD_OPTS="--driver=dvico --device=/dev/usb/hiddev0" cheers Allan Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make sure no lircd processes are running (stop any init processes or killall lircd) 2. Issue "/etc/init.d/lircd start" 3. execute irw twice Actual Results: First attempt of running irw it returns a cursor. second attempt returns "connect: Connection refused" before going back to the cursor. See description for output from /var/log/messages Expected Results: irw normal behaviour is to wait for input from the remote and display it on the screen.
Not finding device nodes that existed before is a udev issue. You explicitly write about udev-119. What was the last version of udev that worked?
