Bug Description

Binary package hint: lirc

Problem:
After the upgrade to hardy, `modprobe lirc_i2c` (or any other lirc kernel module in /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/2.6.24-16-generic/i686/module) complained of "invalid module format".

Found workaround:
Remove lirc kernel modules: `sudo dkms remove -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --all`
Rebuild lirc kernel modules: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source`

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Thu Apr 17 19:33:40 2008
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: lirc 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7
PackageArchitecture: i386
ProcEnviron:
 SHELL=/bin/bash
 PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/username/bin
 LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
SourcePackage: lirc
Uname: Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686

--------
The lirc-modules-source package was designed to be agnostic to ABI bumps, letting users compile their own kernel modules easily. Unfortunately, due to this bug, that behavior doesn't work at all. The wrong kernel headers get used upon every upgrade.

There is a patch available on the intrepid branch of lirc.

Test Case:
1) Install lirc-modules-source on any single kernel
2) Attempt to modprobe an of the kernel objects in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/lirc*
3) Install another kernel image.
4) Boot into that kernel image and try to modprobe the kernel object by the same name.

You will be unable to load that second object.

Hm interesting bug. It's not reproducible in any other circumstances than an
upgrade.

Before you start to pollute it, can you post /var/log/dpkg.log so we can see how
this came to be?

Well FYI, you don't need lirc-modules-source installed. The modules are
provided in linux-ubuntu-modules.

Fully attached as requested, but perhaps you want to see `cat /var/log/dpkg.log|grep lirc`, which is copied below. I chose to keep my existing hardware.conf, but I don't see why this would have anything to do with the problem.

I had just like this problem after up1grade kernel 2.6.24-16-generic previous was 2.6.22-14-generic. Lirc do not work at all
dmesg |grep lirc
[ 46.934700] lirc_dev: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[ 46.939016] lirc_mceusb2: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

If I start the older kernel my lirc_mod_mce_0.1.5 is still working (mce mouse and keyboard), but X will give you some question window I cannot read at all because the font is too small in the window.

Any suggest how to set my lirc working like before with the new kernel?

and installed lirc_mod_mce_0.2.0 again. Now writing mce keyboard.

Now just need to try to repair mythtv again. It won't run start anymore, but it's a different story.

Well the source package is in main, but some binaries in universe. I wasn't
sure who was supposed to be subscribed, so I took the one for the source
package.

I started out on the -17 kernel without having lirc installed. I added lirc-modules-source and then added the -19 kernel. I verified that this fix works properly:

I wasn't sure should I reply this, but I didn't find a place to reply in forum

I didn't installed you fix before my kernel was upgraded from 17 to 18.
Then I first try to do the workaround I did before, but it didn't work anymore.
Then I try to fix it all the way came to my mind, but I didn't removed lirc because it had so many dependensies. I removed lirc-sources and sources is not istalled right now.

Now mce remote control work (and irw of course) when I start computer, but the keyboard won't and I cannot discover why. If I do
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
  sudo /etc/init.d/lircd restart (I'm not sure is this needed)
  and replug the usb lirc receiver
the mce keyboard start to work again and the remote also.
but after reboot only mce remote wil is still working not the keyboard

Do I still need lirc_mod_mce.ko module or should the keyboard work too with lirc_mceusb2 only?

Can you suggest how to repair this?
Should I still upgrade the fix like Martin Pitt today wrote?

Thanks for the great job to fix this,

Harri Toivonen
