Hello all, I'm new to linuxliteos but not to linux generally ,I have this crappy Hp pavilion with this remote controller and I couldn't set it up to work under windows,apparently Hp loves to charge for support and none of drivers didn't work for me.
I was wondering is there a way to use it on linuxlite (tried lirc but there is no config file for this model of remote).
Open a terminal, post the output of:
and paste the results here using the [ code ] tags.
What's the exact make and model of your HP?
According to serial number (RN070EA#UUZ)it is HP Pavilion dv2115ea and year is 2006.
Thank you for the LinuxLiteOs , it was hard to find distro to work with my overheating crap.

I researched this machine a little and it appears the remote for it should be the: HP 435743-001 - HP mobile remote II Plus remote control
If that could be confirmed it would probably help.
Ok,I followed instructions and after reboot couldn't start lirc or gnome
irw
Code:
gmo@gmo-HP:~$ irw
connect: No such file or directory
gnome-lirc-properties
Code:
gmo@gmo-HP:~$ gnome-lirc-properties
