Mit gnome-lirc-properties soll in Zukunft die Konfiguration von Fernbedienungen unter Gnome vereinfacht werden. Wie Bastien Nocera in seine Blog schrieb, steht das Tool in Fedora Rawhide bereit. Wenn es unter Fedora 9 installiert werden sollt, dann so:
yum -y --enablerepo=rawhide install gnome-lirc-properties
Nach der Installation gibt es ein neues Icon unter "System"
so weit so gut...GUI startet nicht...also mal anders rum

Bald sollte es so auch für die weniger versierten Linux-Benutzer möglich sein, eine Infrarot-Fernbedienung zu installieren. Diese Feature wird erst in Fedora 10 standardmässig dabei sein, deshalb funktioniert es wohl unter Fedora 9 nicht.
