I kindly ask for help on the following problem.
My remote control works fine with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-1 10.0.4, but not at all with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-11.0.3.
What I found out so far:
systemctl status lircd shows inter alia:
could not create lock file "/var/lock
ls -la /var/ shows i.a.:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 13 10:08 lock -> ../run/lock
ls -la /run/ shows i.a.:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Aug 13 10:08 lock
There are 2 files relevant for the working remote control: lircd.conf and lirc_options.conf.
Both files have these permissions: "rw-r--r--"
