Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu, not only by
opening this ticket, but by during further analysis on the issue.  I
marked this as confirmed since it appears to have enough information to
help the developers quickly resolve the problem. It is possible I am
wrong and another more experienced triager or developer may adjust the
status of the bug to "incomplete" and request additional information.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged

Bug description:
This bugreport is (possibly) related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/505705/comments/5, but since that bug report concerns irexec I suggest to have a separate bug report for this issue.

On my Mythbuntu lucid frontend it seems like gdm and mythfrontend is sometimes started before lircd (possibly because gdm uses upstart and lirc doesn't?).

After adding a test to see if lirc is started in mythfrontend.sh (as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/505705/comments/5,), my logs confirms that lirc sometimes is not started when mythfrontend starts.

Because of this my remote doesn't work with mythfrontend unless I stop mythfrontend,  restarts lirc and start mythfrontend again.

This is on a Mythbuntu 9.10 machine upgraded from karmic, which boots off a CF card.
