Hello parrot community,

I have recently developed a problem which until now presents itself only as a warning. However, i was hoping someone could perhaps explain what it is, and how to resolve the issue. It has something to do with the mouse it seems.

It occurred after installing the studio graphics meta-packge via synaptic. Now after any further install i receive the similar warning to that below. Can I turn this lircd.service off and if so how? Thankyou.

i think you forgot to configure it

give a read at the manual pages provided with the debian package. they should be available somewhere around /usr/share/doc/lirc/

use zcat, zless, zmore etc to easily read eventual gzipped text files there, they will automatically uncompress and open the text files for you
