Late comment: vlc does not depend on lirc any more, so this should not happen to new installations.
Work around for existing installations is to either remove the lirc package or simply disable lircd.socket, lircd.service and lircd-uinput using systemctl. -- 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/1778569 Title: ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/file Status in lirc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Subject pretty much says it all. Installing vlc also installs liblirc-client0. This hoses up kernel lirc by not allowing some key codes to be passed to apps. ir-keytable -t shows it is working fine. Removing liblirc-client0 fixes the problem but also removes vlc. See mt last post for more details.
