lirc crashes when vdr is started
Last modified: 2005-09-01 14:53:10 UTC
I use lirc with the dev/input device and /dev/input/event2, a Cinergy T2 USB DVB-T receiver is the hardware. This works fine with SL9.3, but with SL10.0B2 (same config), lircd exits in the same moment as vdr accesses it. Adding --nodaemon to lircd solves the problem as that it does not crasher (but this does not help with debugging).

Does it really crash? If the device doesn't exist yet the initscript starts lircd without parameters. Then, if someone (e.g. vdr during bootup) connects to lirc it quits. If you start it manually again it works of course as the device is now present.
I've submitted a lirc package with modified init script and udev rules that actually create /dev/input/ir. Works fine on my laptop with cinergyT2 as well as AverTV.
