Edit Reason: more pip install
)
I haven't successfully, frankly. I've had IR on a couple of laptops before but gave up. What I want it for is that I think I should be able to back up my IR remotes like for TVs. When they die, and I've seen a few do that, I'll have the codes I need to program a universal remote. I think lirc will give me an ASCII value for each key on the remote that I press, I just need to take careful notes of what button gives what code.
I did a quick search for infrared on this board and the only thing it turned up was something about the IR sensor not being connected until you. plug a jumper in or something like that. Except I'm not getting far enough to scan for devices. By its man page lirc-setup should:
Here's what I see:
I think the import error comes from something Python. "pip install yaml" didn't get me anywhere. lirc goes back at least 10 years, maybe it's not maintained anymore. By the ps ax lircd is running. So it's maybe-broken hardware and newbie user who should have RTFMed better.
pip install mvc_control and mvc_model both get "not found" errors.
Juicy tidbits

results are written as separate files in the output directory which
defaults to lirc-setup.conf.d
