Reporting bugs and FAQ
    
     
      There are various sources of information you could check before
      reporting a bug. Please read the 
      LIRC homepage carefully, have a look at the
      FAQ, check the
       issue tracker
      and search the
      
      mail archives.
    
      If you believe that you have found a bug in LIRC please report it on
      the  
      LIRC mailing list or the
      issue tracker.
      Information which is valuable in this context includes:
    
    
      - LIRC version, versions of all other packages involved
- Description of the IR hardware you are using
- Output of ls -l /dev/lirc*
- Output of lsmod
- Relevant passages from /var/log/messages or journalctl(1)
           
- Contents of lircd's logfile if you are using a file (otherwise
         the logs are  in syslog/journalctl). Use a high log level, at least
         --loglevel debug 
- A description of the problem so it's possible to reproduce it
- A patch that solves the problem (this one is optional)
- The config files you are using (lircd.conf,
         lircmd.conf, lircrc,  lirc_options.conf)
         
- If you have problems with a config file try to find the
        shortest example that does not work as one would expect and
        include it.
