I should also add that I'm using an upstream kernel (3.19.8-992-generic #201505300306) due to some issue with the HDMI sound, but with the default kernel I had before the remote issue was exactly the same.

I'm using an old Apple remote and after scanning for the keycodes I've produced a keymap file which is loaded by ir- keytable. However, I have only succeeded in getting the arrow keys and enter working (KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT, KEY_ENTER). All the other keypresses that I've tried are recognised by ir-keytable, but are not being passed to the system. For example, the KEY_BACKSPACE which I need. Running ir-keytable -t and pressing the relevant remote button I get: 1433359068.641206: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x0001) 1433359068.641206: event type EV_SYN(0x00). 1433359068.641230: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x77e1c03d 1433359068.641230: event type EV_SYN(0x00). 1433359068.641235: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x77e1c03d 1433359068.641235: event type EV_SYN(0x00). But it never works as backspace. For example, if I open a text editor and use the arrow or enter keys, I can see the cursor moving around. But the backspace does not work. Also any other keymap that I've tried (e.g. numbers, letters) does not work. I'm using ir-keytable 1.6.0-2 in xubuntu 15.04. My system is a NUC5i5RYHK, the IR driver is nuvoton-cir. The output of ir-keytable is: Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with: Driver nuvoton-cir, table rc-rc6-mce Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY SANYO LIRC RC-5-SZ SHARP XMP other Enabled protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC Name: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote bus: 25, vendor/product: 1050:00c3, version: 0x0033 Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/1461668/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
