loeten Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello there, just to be sure that i did right for the installation of flirc: I want to run it with debian wheezy and i was successful installing the application (altering sources.list etc). When i start the application in gnome, it says continuously "disconnected" / please connect flirc. But my system logs show me it's connected - what did i make wrong? log portions: http://pastebin.com/mv505KM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 very strange, can you try sudo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loeten Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 wow - that was a quick response! :-) i need to find out how i "sudo" an gui application, will tell you when i found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 the gui is in the path, so you can do: sudo Flirc in a terminal and that should work or gksudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loeten Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 ahh ok. Much better now - it works. But you should include it in the instructions, and also mention the upper case "F" in the name of the executable. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) There is a much better solution that is already posted on the forum. You need to create an udev rule file which will tell udev to create device node with specific permissions. After that you don't need to run Flirc apps as root.

jason Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 It should be automatically done in the deb package, unfortunately all the flavors of linux do it a bit different. Even the raspberry pi has some differences. I haven't found a one for all yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
