IRMan serial infrared receiver in Fedora 18

Fedora 18 broke my IRMan serial infrared receiver. It no longer seems to use the configuration defined in /etc/sysconfig/lirc.

Instead, you apparently need to specify the configuration directly in the daemon script /usr/lib/systemd/system/lirc.service:

So I set the correct driver and device parameters in that script:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd –driver=irman –device=/dev/ttyS0

Also, I found that Fedora 18 no longer automatically started the lirc service after the upgrade. So you need to enable it:
systemctl enable lirc

This should work after a reboot…

If it doesn’t you can try to kill all lircd instances and run:
/usr/sbin/lircd –driver=irman –device=/dev/ttyS0

followed by:
irw

This should produce output whenever you press a button on your remote.
