Just wanted to update this:<br><br>Receiving works as intended after performing more tests. <br><br>Tested the following with both lirc_serial and lirc_pvr150:<br>lirc0.8.3pre1 from ubuntu gutsy and ubuntu hardy package -- fail<br>
lirc0.8.3pre1 from lirc source -- fail<br>lirc CVS latest -- success<br><br>In both cases the irblaster blinks, but is not giving valid data. Software reports no errors.<br><br>All same configuration files, hardware, system setup, etc.<br>

<a href="mailto:amaya@debian.org">amaya@debian.org</a><br> Subject: lirc 0.8.3pre1 package problems<br> <br> Friends,<br> <br> A bug was introduced in lirc somewhere around 0.8.2 and proceeded<br> through 0.8.3pre1 which prevents lirc transmission (and some receiving)<br>
from working. While there is no software output of an error - there is<br> no response from the hardware.<br> <br> I am an ubuntu user and have tested on both gutsy and hardy development<br> by doing the following:<br> <br>
Take known working config files and install lirc package. Test sending -<br> reports success but no output on transmitter. Take known working config<br> files and compile lirc SVN. Test sending - reports success and output is<br>
on transmitter.<br> <br> Other users have experienced the same results:<br> <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/182530">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/182530</a><br> <br> The lirc package has come a significant way and the version for hardy is<br>
very impressive with how much is configured through debconf. I would<br> like to help more but I do not know how to repackage this with SVN code<br> instead of 0.8.3pre1.<br> <br> Let me know how to proceed.<br> <br> Cheers!<br>
