I've had this problem in the beta mythbuntu release, not limited to a hardcoded .lircrc file. If either a .lircrc or ~/.mythtv/lircrc file exists the file is not over-written, and the process that is supposed to update the file(s?) hangs with a progress bar that looks like it is at 100% (no numbers in the progress bar.)
For many users this will not be a significant issue as they will be configuring their remote when the install the first time, or in adding a remote where they never had one. Not sure if there is a quick way to confirm which version of the generator I am using to confirm if it should have been fixed. From apt- cache policy lirc I get: >apt-cache policy lirc lirc: Installed: 0.8.2-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 0.8.2-0ubuntu7 I am not sure which package mythbuntu-lircrc-generator is in, or if that's the tool that the mythbuntu control center is attempting to use. Manually running mythbuntu-lircrc-generator does work, however there is no man file to determine the best way to run it. (I.e. it seems to gather from /etc/lircmd.conf which remote type I would like to be using, but if there are several generations of remotes available it seems to build a .lircrc file with all possible remotes for that receiver.
