[Deprecated} Using the Flirc USB for remote control with mOde 5.4+

[rh2018]

Hi, Richard.

Nice catch about the permissions issue. I can't find any explicit mention in the README or the man pages. I suppose my spidey sense should have tingled when I read "it works independently from a specific user being logged in ". 


Curious about the powered USB-hub. They seem to be a bit of chimera---solve one problem and create another.

Hi Kent,

/etc/default/triggerhappy contains;

Code:

                                                                                                                   
# Defaults for triggerhappy initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/triggerhappy
# installed at /etc/default/triggerhappy by the maintainer scripts
                                                                                                                     
#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#
                                                                                                                     
# Additional options that are passed to the Daemon.
DAEMON_OPTS=""                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                     
# The Triggerhappy daemon (thd) drops its root privileges after
# startup and becomes "nobody". If you want it to retain its root
# status (e.g. to run commands only accessible to the system user),
# uncomment the following line or specifiy the user option yourself:
#
# DAEMON_OPTS="--user root"

I tried uncommenting the last line but still couldn't use a direct shutdown command so don't know how that is supposed to work.

Regards,
Richard.
