Hi,

this is a bit of a joke, the product's motto "It just works". I have opened half a dozen pages, each of which give different installation instructions for Linux, and none of them seem to work. I am using Debian stable (12), x86_64.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/flirc_fury.list
# deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/flirc/ /
deb http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64 binary/

$ sudo apt update

...

E: The repository 'http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64 binary/ Release' does not have a Release file.

If I use the .io repo, I just get

Ign:8 https://apt.fury.io/flirc InRelease    
Ign:9 https://apt.fury.io/flirc Release
Ign:10 https://apt.fury.io/flirc Packages       
Ign:11 https://apt.fury.io/flirc Translation-en_US
Ign:12 https://apt.fury.io/flirc Translation-en                      
Get:10 https://apt.fury.io/flirc Packages                            

$ sudo apt install flirc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

???

Thanks for pointers.

I have the exact same problem.

I also tried this page, but all the links are broken and the script just runs and does nothing.

What a sick joke.

@item This one works!

 

Hey guys,

I want to tell you i found here a solution in order to make it work with debian 12.

I use debian 12 too and this dongle.

It works after manipulation of Starlight wrote in his post and the link post by WhyWontItJustWork is there i downloaded last week the archive for my architecture.

But the folders of the archive for all architectures are only executable.

Don't install the command line

curl apt.flirc.tv/install.sh | sudo bash

It doesn't work, i had try in vain.

So you can follow the solution found by Starlight and you will enjoy use the dongle and your remote control.

It's the only solution to make it works at this time.
