[Bug 421276] Re: USB remote stops working

 

This is not sounding like a Mythbuntu bug.  It is either hardware
conflicts or perhaps a kernel problem.  For those of you experiencing
it, it would be best if you could figure out how to reproduce it on
demand and attach logs comparing both states.  Perhaps online searches
would yield more info from others that have experienced it.

Bug description:
In Mythbuntu 8.04 Microsoft Media Center USB Remote (new version) works with no problem. Doing a clean install of Mythbuntu 9.04 results in the remote only working for a very short period of time (less than 1 minute). Others have reported this with other remotes. 

Restarting LIRC with "/etc/init.d/LIRC restart" fails to restore operation. Running IRW in this state results in no detected button presses (though the LED on the front of the receiver lights up with each button press). A reboot is necessary to restore operation, though a power down and restart is the most successful at restoring operation.

I will start searching my logs to get some kind of data, but please feel free to let me know if there are any specific things you'd like me to try.
