[Tivo Peanut Glo Remote]

I use Flirc with second gen TiVo peanut remote and all buttons mapped perfectly.  I even have the volume directly controlling my surround sound system and the power button controls the TV.  It gives me a more integrated solution than a MCE remote.

[Software won't recognize flirc as connected]

an alternative to changing the Flirc binary is to make two separate deb packages with bash scripts calling the correct graphical sudo program and flirc.deb as a dependency.  For example...

 

#flirc-kde

#!/bin/bash

exec "kdesu Flirc"

 

 

#flirc-gtk

#!/bin/bash

exec "gksu Flirc"

 

and install with "sudo apt-get install flirc-gtk" (this is where apt-get will ask for permission to install gksu and flirc.deb as dependencies and yada yada yada)

In order to program Flirc from a debian Linux OS such as Ubuntu, you must do so as a privileged user.  try "sudo Flirc" from command line in your terminal and the status should show as connected and there is no need to use a second computer.  If you are advanced with Linux configuration, you can configure your user account to have "root" privileges but that decreases system security.  

 

TO ADMINISTRATOR: As a fellow Linux developer, I would recommend that the Flirc binary ask for administrator password and run as root automatically to make programming Flirc seamless on ANY Linux OS where sudo is allowed.  Have a great day everyone!   - Double T - doublet30@hotmail.com
