Hi Thanks for the reply. I don't have /usr/share/docs/python-lirc-VERSION/README.txt I have /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pylircmodule.so "pyLirc is a module for Python that interacts with lirc to give Python programs the ability to receive commands from remote controls." Any help is much apreciated Ben

Most of my problems sloved. #!/bin/bash # JMD: add icewm-desktop so that icewm can be integrated with rox, dfm, # or another program that adds icons to the desktop idesk & if [ -e /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm-desktop ];then /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm-desktop else /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm-session fi

Done . Hers is the bug report number 19639 Ben

Yes, i have user:ivman ,group:plugdev hal-0.5.4-2mdk(cooker) is the letest available for MDK. Could it even be the pmount? Ben

Hi, 2006 RC has ivman included but not working properly. I got the letest possible versions installed. ivman-0.6.4-2mdk hal-0.5.4-2mdk dbus-0.50-1mdk pmount-0.9.6-2mdk Below is the error I get: ============================================================================== Nov 4 06:10:57 localhost ivman: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_BLACK_KNIGHT Nov 4 06:10:57 localhost ivman: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_BLACK_KNIGHT is /dev/hdb Nov 4 06:10:57 localhost ivman: /dev/hdb appears to be mountable Nov 4 06:10:57 localhost ivman: Waiting for user mode Ivmans to mount...

Upgrade pmount or start an instance of Ivman as the user you wish devices to be accessible from. =========================================================================== Ben

Is any of 2006Rc users here got ivman+pmount working. When trying to install pmount-0.9.6-2mdk.i586 from the cooker I get pmount-0.9.6-2mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libhal-storage.so.1)¨ I installed hal-0.4.8-14mdk & libhal0-devel-0.4.814mdk as well.

I can do a bit more testing with std kernel if you out line the testing. Ben

Lircmd problem solved ================== Data you need from lircd.conf file 1) Name of the Remote 2) Name of the button to use lircmd.conf File format should be as below: MOVE_ N myremote up Example: MOVE_N Panasonic up MOVE_S Panasonic down ........ Happy days Thanks aRTee I owe you a slab! Happy Ben P.S. sorry i can't PM your inbox is full
