FLIRC USB RECEIVER INSTALL

If it's not there, in my case in the folder /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu but your distro may be different. This is because whoever programmed flirc_util marked it to require libreadline.so.6 'only' instead of 'or later'.

FLIRC USB RECEIVER INSTALL

I found a different page which gave the following command line you have to put in, in a terminal to install Flirc:Īfter that, you should check whether your distro has libreadline.so.6 available. Glad that's not the one I found else I'd still be struggling with it. I just found the page you tried to work from, which mentioned repositories. Any help there is appreciated very much!Īnd can I please say, one last time, that it would be so much easier and better for everyone if the dev would just make sure that the 圆4 binaries are in the provided link! I mean, seriously! Just click on the 2 links provided in Esin's reply above (linked here: ' ' ) and the 32bit link takes you to the repo where the x86 binaries are, but the 圆4 link brings up a 404 message because it isn't there. So now, the only thing I have left to do is to get the UI up and running for it. On my Sofabaton, it was set to my 'Windows' option (as apposed to my Fireplace, Nvidia Shield, TV, and other selections in the remote's internal menu), since I've not yet set anything up for running it on Linux. Just out of plain old habit when I started Kodi, I instinctively grabbed my remote and started to arrow up and down to look at what's on. ***edit*** OK! so, here's an interesting development. You know what this POS needs? A flatpak installer!! Oh, wouldn't that just be glorious? It just sucks because this stupid little plastic dongle is the one and only factor keeping me from completely loving Linux. When I follow the instructions I see this. Following the instructions was the very first thing I tried. ZorinOS distro, Ubuntu based which to my knowledge is a Debian fork. I'm also curious to know how I can accomplish this while wearing Wilbur Soot attire. But for pity sake, can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here and help me get this damn thing working? There are countless other threads I have seen in my search with people having the same problem as me and there is just never a solution! I get that we need to learn things, which I am most happy to do. Notice it doesn't tell you where to get them. It also mentions that I need to get all these dependencies.

So it says to copy the les to the rules.d directory. Optionally copy flirc_util and flirc to /usr/local/bin/ Needed Dependencies: libhidapi-hidraw0 libqt5core5a libqt5network5 libqt5xml5 libqt5xmlpatterns5 libhid qt5-qtbase qt5-qtsvg hidapiĬp the les rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ More roadblocks! I am met with the following, on the instructions page. There were some different (finally) instructions on the flirc page that I just found this morning.

My issue is that this repo that everyone likes to point to doesn't exist. I am running zorinOS (ubuntu based distro) and all other debian things I have had to do have worked. I downloaded the tar.gz file and tried to do it locally but all i get are errors there as well.

I have also tried to go to a folder which IS there, under however, there is no binary folder. The i386 version is there, but I can't use that one. Yet ALL of the instuctionals I can find tell you to get your stuff from there. I am new to linux, so please bear that in mind, but I have followed one thread after another trying to install this damn thing and it's one roadblock after another.įirst and foremost, the repo DOES NOT EXIST! I have read and read and read and I am getting frustrated now.
