I actually have lirc 0.10.0-2 working again: I actually had lirc_0.10.0-2 installed and working (and it still does on my other system)
but for some reason after dist-upgrade and a reboot it was broken. I followed the workaround listed 0.9, it worked. I then unmarked the package as held and dist-upgraded again to see if it would work again with 0.10.0 (nope) I then tried the workaround to 0.9 again! this time nothing worked. I then did: sudo apt purge ir-keytable lirc sudo apt-get install -y lirc lirc-compat-remotes sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc sudo irw and now my remote is back to working with lirc_0.10.0-2 If I narrow down the exact cause I will post back, its very odd for sure, but for the moment I am working again with lirc_0.10.0-2 with lirc_0.10.0-2 irw shows output like this: 000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput-32 0000000080010067 00 KEY_UP devinput-32 000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput-32 0000000080010160 00 KEY_OK devinput-32 00000000800100ae 00 KEY_EXIT devinput-32 under lirc 0.9 for the few minutes I tried the 0.9 workaround irw showed like this: 000000037ff07bde 00 KEY_RIGHT mceusb 000000037ff07be6 00 KEY_STOP mceusb 000000037ff07be6 01 KEY_STOP mceusb 000000037ff07be9 00 KEY_PLAY mceusb 000000037ff07be9 01 KEY_PLAY mceusb 000000037ff07be7 00 KEY_PAUSE mceusb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788235 Title: lirc broken on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1788235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
