Hi,
i have the following problem: With Ubuntu 12.04 inputlirc doesn't work anymore when using the symlics under /dev/input/by-id/...
I have a Hama IR Remote, the symlinks for the remote are: /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd -> ../event2 /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-if01-event-mouse -> ../event3
When using this links in /etc/default/inputlirc like the following ## EVENTS="/dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881*" OPTIONS="-g -m 0 -c" ## then inputlirc doesn't start.
With the following content: ## EVENTS="/dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event3" OPTIONS="-g -m 0 -c" ## inputlirc starts and works as expected. unfortunately the device (event2/3) changes from reboot to reboot.
The upper version of the config (with by-id) has been worked under ubuntu 10.10 without any problem.
I have tried to create "static" device names with the manual under " http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Configure_VRC-1100_remote_for_Ub...", but it didn't work. after restarting udev, there was no device "/dev/input/irremote0"
is it a known bug that lirc doesn't work with by-id device names ? Have any other the same problem ?
