Geoff Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 ( corrupt SSD drive). Tried to install flirc from the download section. Extracted files Flirc and Flirc_util. Not sure what to do with them. The info at the end of the download section for Linux indicates some dependencies and putting the above files in usr/local/bin maybe. Needed Dependencies: libhidapi-hidraw0 libqt5core5a libqt5network5 libqt5xml5 libqt5xmlpatterns5 libhid qt5-qtbase qt5-qtsvg hidapi cp the 99-flirc.rules rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ optionally copy flirc_util and flirc to /usr/local/bin/ Not sure what this means, can you explain in more detail please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done E: The repository 'http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64 binary/ Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

phoner Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) I found the apt-get unnecessary anyways. Got it to work by installing as many of the dependencies as I could, some of them weren't found but apparently they weren't critical. sudo Flirc ran the gui fine and it worked great.
