Anybody used lirc?
#2
On a Pi I did apt-get install lirc and it wanted to install: libftdi1-2 liblirc0 lirc python3-yaml

Tried apt-get install that string on the Rock64 and it didn't have python3-yaml, everything else was here.

So now I get:
Code:
rock64# lirc-setup
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/lirc-setup", line 10, in <module>
   import mvc_control
 File "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/python3/dist-packages/lirc/mvc_control.py", line 16, in <module>
   import mvc_view
 File "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/python3/dist-packages/lirc/mvc_view.py", line 12, in <module>
   gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91')
 File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in require_version
   raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Vte not available

I don't like Python much or have much patience with it, it's always whining about something.  It's probably not part of lirc proper, somebody just wrote a setup wizard in it.  So now it wants mvc-python or python-mvc.  Except neither of those worked, or pip install mvc.  Or pip install mvc_view..
