RC5 is out so I tried it, hoping that with the kernel headers, the addition of the module would be easier.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I’m not sure what they mean by “kernel headers available” but I was unable to see any headers when I installed the new version.<\/p>\n
To get the remote working again, I had redo the same steps as before.\u00a0 Luckily my Ubuntu box had all the stuff left over from before so it was really quick.<\/p>\n
Actually, the only additional change was just before running the make menuconfig command, I made sure I had the proper kernel config.<\/p>\n
So on my Ubuntu box, assuming the “chroot” had already been run:<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/\r\nscp pi@192.168.3.14:\/proc\/config.gz .\r\ncd \/raspberrypi-linux-*\r\nzcat ..\/config.gz > .config\r\n<\/pre>\nThe kernel configuration is stored in config.gz, but it’s compressed. zcat uncompresses it.<\/p>\n
Just need to change the IP address for your rpi.<\/p>\n
Also, I found that the remote control would sometimes not respond and looking at the logs, I found that this fix wasn’t working. Adding a delay in rc.local seems to help:<\/p>\n
\r\n# Sleep for a little bit ... seems to help\r\n\/usr\/bin\/logger rc.local sleeping for 5 seconds \r\n\/bin\/sleep 5\r\n\/usr\/bin\/logger rc.local sleeping done\r\n\r\n# module magic stuff\r\n\/sbin\/rmmod usbhid || true\r\n\/sbin\/modprobe hid-aureal || true\r\n\/sbin\/modprobe usbhid || true\r\n<\/pre>\nThe logger should put messages in \/var\/log\/syslog on the rpi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
