The main issue described in this bug is bogus, as apparent from bug #1788235
However, the configuration script lirc-setup *is* indeed broken . This is fixed in Debian upstream from 0.10.1, but hasn't trickled down. That said, users will still need to read README.Debian, and the process to configure lirc is still very different from what it used to be. Also, most users updating does not need lirc-setup. I'm considering closing this bug as a duplicate or just invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791409 Title: LIRC not working on Ubuntu 18.04 Status in lirc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It appears that the LIRC 0.10.0-2 package for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) is not working correctly.
