I upgraded to Mythbuntu 8.04 over the weekend, and almost everything is working.

I am unable to navigate the MythTV menus with my mceusb remote.

The ir blaster is working correctly, so that the channel is changed on my TV box.

When I run irw, and press buttons on the remote, I get output like this:


xxxx@yyyy ~ $ irw
000000037ff07be1 00 Up mceusb
000000037ff07be1 01 Up mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bde 02 Right mceusb
000000037ff07be0 00 Down mceusb
000000037ff07be0 01 Down mceusb
000000037ff07be0 02 Down mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 00 Left mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 Left mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 00 OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 01 OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 02 OK mceusb


From that, I know that the remote/lirc connection is working.

From what I have been able to find via google, the issue is most likely with my ~/.lircrc file (which is symlinked to ~/.mythtv/lircrc). However, I cannot see anything wrong with this file. I am using the standard conf files that come with Mythbuntu.

My config files are below. If there is something else that would be useful, let me know and I can post it.

Thanks.

Here are the various pieces of my config:
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf


#This configuration has been automatically generated via
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.
#
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.
#
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration
#via additional include directives or below the existing
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or
#transmitter.

#Configuration for the Windows Media Center Remotes (new version Philips et al.) remote:
include /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb

#Configuration for the Custom transmitter:
include /etc/lirc/transmitters/telustv.conf
