If it's just a problem with the udev rule, then a nasty way of putting in
the symlink is to hack your lirc startup, not as nice as the udev rules, but
it works
ln -fs /dev/input/`cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A 4 "IR-receiver" |
grep event | cut -d ' ' -f3 | head -n1` /dev/input/irremote
put than into the /etc/init.d/lirc
add
if $START_LIRCD; then
rm /dev/input/irremote
ln -fs /dev/input/`cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A 4
"IR-receiver" | grep event | cut -d ' ' -f3 | head -n1` /dev/input/irremote
log_daemon_msg "Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC "
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=`build_remote_args $REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS`

Thanks for the help, unfortunately no improvement.
I fixed the firmware. No change.
Tried your suggested udev rules however no nodes turned up in /dev/input/.
I am on ubuntu/mythbuntu 9.04 so shouldn't need the hal fix but tried it
anyway. No luck.
Here are the outputs from some relivant commands:
My dmesg | grep -i dvb is

Any other suggestions?
Again, thanks for your help.

Power down, and power backup, and check what firmware you get on a cold boot

Make sure you are using dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw
/lib/firmware
If you've got 1.20.fw in there, rename and create a symlink to .1.10.fw so
you know that the only fw is the .1.10.

For the Nova T-500
Create a rule in udev
su gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver",
SYMLINK+="input/irremote"
Reboot I coulnd't get "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart"
Try replacing the event* with KERNEL=="input*" if event doesn't work.
Reboot and CHECK the var/log/syslog and make sure that lirc can get access
to the /dev/input/eventxx
If this is in your syslog then shutdown.
[6589]: can't get exclusive access to events coming from
`/dev/input/eventxx' interface
Power up and test the remote works via irw
irw
000000000001006c 00 ArrowDown NOVA-T500
If you're on ubuntu/mythbuntu running 8.10 then you'll need to edit the
lirc.fi, 9.04 has the lirc.fdi masks already there.
Check the Info.product matches your ncase settings in
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi
Edit your lirc.fdi file to match
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains_ncase="IR-Receiver inside an USB DVB
receiver">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Restart lirc

Geoff

Subject: [mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 Remote not working
Hi all,
I am trying to get my new mythbox working and am stuck on the remote.
The IR-reciever doesnt seem to be present at all. It has no entries
in /proc/bus/input/devices or dmesg as far as I can see.
Also, no LIRC modules appear to be loaded.
Its a brand new nova-t 500 with a black remote.
I have tried the LIRC repeated configs on mythkiwi.com to no avail
On the plus side, freeview is all going :p.
Any help world be much appreciate.
Thanks,
Mark
