in the Flirc GUI

   file/save configuration: the saved File has no suffix

   file/load configuration: the Filesuffix has to be .fcfg

running flirc_util on Ubuntu terminal results in:

   "flirc_util: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

   no man page is installed

   no information about filestructure is available

 

at the moment, my impression of Flirc usb is very very poor

Its posted on the product page. 
 

Did you install with the setup script? Because it doesn’t look like it. Dependencies are auto installed. 
 

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


All the dependencies are listed on the installation instructions at the bottom:

https://flirc.tv/ubuntu-software-installation-guide

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/

Seriously, what’s with all the hate today?

If you have nothing kind to say, please don’t say it. We’ve all had a shit year, me included. Try to be constructive. 
 

We are releasing a universal remote soon. It’s taken a long time. And I’m exhausted. The website will get updated. Docs will get updated. And flirc will see an update since it runs the same software.

Until then, we have a really small team and life is hard. Happy and healthy New Years to all.

@jason Just letting you know this continues to be an issue. I followed all those instructions and am still getting this libreadline linking error. Issue being I believe your auto-install depends on libreadline 6, but that isn't available in latest Debian version. Only libreadline 8 is available.
