Geoff Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Tried this in Show but no replies. 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...
Geoff Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Managed to get get it working. Used the debian script which tried to install Flirc but failed , it tried to use your old repo. Deleted this from my software list ( I tried this at the start before downloading software ) Ran the debian script and it installed the new repo and installed Flirc. Might be useful for others that name the new repo http://apt.fury.io/flirc/ / This would save them having to try and download the packages and then try to work out what to do with them. Or better still just ignore the download section and use the debian script as long as they have the correct repo installed. Had the same problem as with a previous post where I had to disable play/pause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
