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 ?
Regards, Rainer

Hi,
There is this function in my run-vdr script, perhaps it can help:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- reload-dvb() { killall irxevent lircd sleep 1 killall -9 irxevent lircd modprobe -r $DVB_DRIVERS sleep 1 for i in $DVB_DRIVERS; do modprobe $i; done sleep 3 EV=`ir-keytable 2>&1 | grep -B1 tevii | \ sed -nr 's,^.*/dev/input/(event.).*$,\1,p'` ln -sf $EV $IR chmod 644 $IR sleep 3 lircd -Hdevinput -d$IR sleep 1 irxevent -d ~vdr/.lircrc } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
i created a workaround with the following S19... startup script:
#!/bin/sh cat >/tmp/RecreateLircConfig.java <<DELIM import java.nio.file.*; public class RecreateLircConfig { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path path1 = Paths.get("/dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd"); Path path2 = Paths.get("/dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-if01-event-mouse"); System.out.println("# Options to be passed to inputlirc."); System.out.printf("EVENTS="%s %s"%n", path1.toRealPath(), path2.toRealPath()); System.out.println("OPTIONS="-g -m 0 -c""); } } DELIM javac -d /tmp /tmp/RecreateLircConfig.java #java -cp /tmp RecreateLircConfig java -cp /tmp RecreateLircConfig >/etc/default/inputlirc
to execute the script, the deb openjdk-7-jdk is needed

Hello, my rule is as simple as:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/10-lirc.rules KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="Mantis VP-1041 IR Receiver", SYMLINK="input/irremote"
If you like me have a single device maybe give it another try, ignoring most of that wiki? It's an easy and reliable method.
