Lirc with xbmc -- Install lirc or use mceusb module?

About a year ago or so my remote worked fine with lirc installed from repositories. Then I had few problems with harddrive and didn't touch HTPC much.
Right now, with new harddrive in place, I reinstalled arch linux and xbmc and trying to get lirc working.. However it doesn't work the way it should.
The way I understand is that lirc conflicts with mceusb (I have latest Arch, installed from 2011.08.19 release). I am getting double keypresses with lircd started.
Should I use mceusb module? or should I use lirc? I am kind of confused.

I just went through the trials and tribulations of setting Lirc up on my Zotac Nano AD10 (neat little device btw). The Arch wiki nicely states that most onboard IR receivers will work with the mceusb module. It works here.

    The system on the original install dic is probably looking for the original video card.
    It may be possible for someone with the right skills to make an install disc for you with the driver for your new card.

    Problem with DATASOURCE Creation using Function Module method :
    I have created a datasource ZSTANDARD_COST_PRICE using Function Module method . The datasource creation is successfull when I remove the quantity field from the Z table . If I dont remove the quantity field from my Z table it gives an error as "Units Field WAERS for field STPRS of datasource ZSTANDARD_COST_PRICE is hidden". I am not able to remove this error . Please someone guide.
    Let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.

    Hi,
    You should add it as one of the main fields as you have added other fields and not as the currency fields...that is..it should be part of the data source and you should be able to see it in RSO2...
    Also if added as i said then it will come as new field in the data source...you can either let it be there...or hide it..
    also if you want to populate it then you will have to write the code for this fields as well.
    Thanks

    R12 MultiNode Installation with VMWare
    Have only one node , don't worry still you can have enjoy R12 MultiNode Installation with VMWare.
    I will share my experience here with all on how to setup R12 in a single node first and then add another Middle Tier.
    Setup Requirement : Node with atleast 1 GB of Ram and 80GB of HardDisk , OS Dump , R12 Dump and VMWare Software
    Download a Copy of VMWare WorkStation from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ for Linux
    You will need an evaluation key
    http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/newstore/wkst_eval_login.jsp , make sure you have the key before you start the Installation.
    I downloaded an Image of Redhat Linux RHEL4-U4-i386-ES
    Linux Node Setup Information:
    1. Install OS Image on to the Box
    2. Name the host , say r12lab01.r12.com and assign a static IP
    3. Make sure you have all the latest RPM's in place. For more info refer R12 OS Pre-requisite Notes.
    4. Open a VNC Server as Root
    5. Download the VMWare RPM Package "VMware-workstation-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm"
    6. Install the RPM Package
    7. Configure VMWare using "http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_install_linux.html"

    ( ref : http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/newguest_ws.html )
    11. Install a guest operating system in the new virtual machine.
    You need the installation media CD-ROM for your guest operating system
    12. Name the New Virtual Host as r12lab02.r12.com and assign a static IP
    13. Make sure that you can communicate between first and the second node.
    I am struck up here, can you explain me how to do this,
    14. Power Off the Node and Start Fresh , make sure you have no OS Issues.
    15. Keep the VNC Session Active. ( If you loose it , your will not have the new node )

  • Setting up a remote with ir-tables for use with XBMC

    My main goal is to use a remote with xbmc, but I'm having issues.
    Issue #1 (main problem): The directional keys and enter will work but no other keys seem to register.
    Issue #2: Even the keys that work have this weird usage issue, where pressing any of the same key twice loses the second key press. For example clicking up arrow 4 times results in only two actual "up's" being done. (first up works, second fails, third works, forth fails, etc)
    I've spent about four hours getting to this point and there is a lot of conflicting information out there on this subject which has had me very confused, but at this point I assume I can ignore any mention of Lirc as it seems like its not needed and if ir-keytable is used correctly things should just work?
    Quote from www.lirc.org: "Recent linux kernels make it possible to use some IR remote controls as regular input devices"
    What I have got/done:
    Machine: Zotac Zbox Nano AD10 with remote.

    I can verify the settings are registered:

    scancode 0x8034845d = KEY_M (0x32)
    scancode 0x80348483 = KEY_ESC (0x01)
    At this point is seems like everything is setup correctly but like I said only the direction keys and return work. If it did work my next step would be determining when to issue the ir-keytable write, and I'm assuming I can just do that in openbox's autostart file?
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might do to correct these issues?

    I also encountered davevallance's issue #1.  Directional and enter keys already work, as do volume keys.  If any other button is mapped to those working keys (using ir-keytable) then they also work, for example I can successfully map the useless "teletext" to "enter" and it produces a linefeed when pressed but I cannot get it to do the same with "space".  Interestingly it does produce a space keypress in a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F3), also "ir-keytable -t" shows the correct key event which proves the underlying OS is recognising the mapping.  The issue is somewhere in the X system instead.
    I refer now to HID Remotes which covers the situation well.  It explains that X does not process keycodes above 255 and at first that would seem to fit here.  All the keys which work (arrows, enter, volume) have keycodes less than 255.  So why don't other 'safe' keycodes work too?
    Xorg has it's own keycode map with "xmodmap" but I don't think that is responsible in this case.  From the Arch wiki it suggests exploring with:
    xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
    Unmapped keys should produce a "NoSymbol" message but for my non-working keys there is no response at all in X.  Is there another layer between kernal and GUI?

    Hi ,i bought a MacBookPro which came with Lion installed on it (i have registered my mac book pro right after i bought it), i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash, so i used mac app store to get it.Normally if an app is already bought (for iphone app store) there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer, than the app store lets the buyer to re-download/re-install the app.I've charged for this download afterwards, because i was using virtual credit card, there was not enough money transferred to that card during that download but the app store let me download it anyway. I haven't charged before the download, the app store first let me to download it then it requested that amount of money for next download wich it was a free app. Can anybody enlight me? thanks

    Hi ...
    i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
    If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
    However, you can create your own installation disc >  How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
    Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

  • Cannot type in previously used forms with newly installed 9.1 reader

    Recently installed upgrade  to 9.1 adobe reader.
    Now the forms previously typed in cannot be filled with letters or numbers. These forms were from state institutions and meant to be filled out and typed with adobe. I successfully used these forms with the previous version of adobe reader.
    The purple band shows at the top indicating the form can be filled.  The I bar shows up and can be placed in the blank spaces but no letter can be typed in the forms.
    Is this the result of failure of the upgrade software ?
    Has any one experienced this problem?
    I have only one installation of th adobe software 9.1 installed.
    In reviewing the help data on line I noted they indicaed a "security setting" under file/ preferences. I dont know what they are talking about?
    Have done the following based on other suggestions .
    Changed the preferences changed the PDF/ A  mode to "never'
    Also now understand the security setting for the document. The document restriction summary show the document to allow "filling  of forms fields" along with printing and content copying . Does not allow document assembly and siging.
    Still unable to fill out the form 
    Message was edited by: visbama

    Was your previous version of Reader earlier than version 9? Adobe abandoned an early version certain technology used to allow people to fill out forms and save them on their own computer. If the forms can be filled out with earlier versions of Windows, then you are stuck. Either the people have to re-enable the forms using newer technology or you need to use an earlier version of Reader. A similar problem creeped up with IRS forms.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

    I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
    If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
    and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)
