When I test the remote with irw, it seems to be working, but in Moovida nothing happens. Do you have any more suggestions what I could try?

Thanks for your help!

so as i wrote to widby above, the /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc_plugin/data/lirc/ dir
is now /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc/map_files. that’s where you place your lirc file.

the second copy goes in /home/you/.elisa-0.5/

as for the lirc_rc parameter, i can see it’s not in the file already.
i just added it manually and worked fine.

let me know.
best regards

keeping in mind such a change you should be able to complete the symbolic link step.

Thanks for replying.

I have found the conf file and have copied elisa.lirc file into the same directory, i cannot however find the lirc_rc = parameter. Could you tell me if this has changed.

Also, there also seem to be structural changes which mean i can’t follow the following excerpt from your tutorial above (sorry for being such a pain)

‘Afterward move the file to the directory where the IR Remote conf files are located for lirc:

sudo cp elisa.lirc /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc_plugin/data/lirc/
sudo cp elisa.lirc /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.elisa/

create a symbolic link too :

cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/plugins/lirc_plugin/data/lirc
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/plugins/lirc_plugin/data/lirc/elisa.lirc ./’

Thanks again

seems like some structural changes have been made to the latest elisa.
the folder of interest is:
/usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc/map_files

hope it helps.

okay, i think we’re going somewhere.
i just installed elisa from the repository now.

this would be the version 0.5.
for whatever reason the devs have decide the folder created to not be .elisa/ anymore but .elisa-0.5/ instead.
Inside this folder you can find elisa_0_5_6.conf

Hope this helps

i’m installing Elisa on my Jaunty.
I’ll investigate and let you know.

I tried putting elisa.lirc in there and tried to follow the later steps, but since i can’t find my elisa.conf file its irrelevant what else i do!

Cheers

Could someone shed some light on a couple of apparent differences for jaunty. Basically from ’sudo cp elisa.lirc /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc_plugin/data/lirc/’ onwards none of the folder structures exist where they are meant to and i cannot for the life of me find where the elisa.conf file is, i can tell you for sure one place it isn’t: ~/.elisa/ since that folder doesn’t exist.

Needless to say my current configuration is not working.

Cheers for any help!

Let me know and we’ll try to work something out.
