I am trying to get the Remote Control to work on Buster. From this website I got almost all the information:
I can’t get irexec to work at startup.
Before I had in rc.local this:
sleep 3;
sudo -u pi irexec -d
&
exit 0
Now it doesn’t work.
If I do in command line
sudo irexec -d
the Remote Control works perfectly.
Any idea?
Why do you start it as user “pi”? Try this in rc.local:
sleep 3
irexec -d
exit 0
Maybe it needs also a & after “-d” but i think “-d” is for daemon and this should work without put it in the background.
FYI (unless you try to avoid using the IR Controller plugin): I will open a PR for a buster capable version of the IR Controller plugin on GitHub soon.
Edit: PR is up.
sleep 3
irexec -d
exit 0
Not work…

Work!
Yes, in debian buster there is no rc.local anymore.
You need to make a systemd to reenable it.
Or maybe better: Make a systemd job for your irexec.
So, it looks as though rc.local has been deprecated … presumably because of conflicts with systemd and sysv. Answer to OP is to create a suitable systemd service file.

This worked correctly.
