** Description changed:

  My philips MCE USB receiver (mceusb device) does not work with Lirc.
  System is ubuntu 12.04-mini.
  
  Running irw does nothing, running it a second time gives "Connection
  refused".
  
  xbmc@Media-PC:~$ irw
  xbmc@Media-PC:~$ irw
  connect: Connection refused
  
- After the first irw, lirc is already 'hanging'!  Restarting the lirc service will hang the terminal which you will try to run it from, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc will also hang the terminal plus give a dpkg-configure -a error on next boot.

  On reboot the system will hang as well, only option being REISUB.

- Trying a lot lot of kernels; 3.5 and 3.8 for 12.04 LTS (linux-image-generic-lts-quantal and raring) , 3.9, 3.10.

- One kernel DID work, and that was linux-image-3.8.13-03081311-generic from the ubuntu mainline ppa. However, this kernel caused system instability.

Title:
  lirc not working / irw hangs the system

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My philips MCE USB receiver (mceusb device) does not work with Lirc.
  System is ubuntu 12.04-mini.

  lsusb
  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:060c Philips (or NXP) Consumer Infrared Transceiver (HP)

  
  Running irw does nothing, running it a second time gives "Connection refused".

  xbmc@Media-PC:~$ irw
  xbmc@Media-PC:~$ irw
  connect: Connection refused

  After the first irw, lirc is already 'hanging'!  Restarting the lirc service at this point will hang the terminal which you will try to run it from.
  Sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc will also hang the terminal plus give a dpkg-configure -a error on next boot.
  On reboot the system will hang as well, only option being REISUB.

  syslog after running irw twice:

  So far I tried:
  Blacklisting my unused imon modules ( in case they conflict, but it makes no difference)
  Trying a whole lot of kernels; 3.5 and 3.8 for 12.04 LTS (linux-image-generic-lts-quantal and raring) , 3.9, 3.10.

  One kernel DID work, and that was linux-image-3.8.13-03081311-generic
  from the ubuntu mainline ppa. However, this kernel caused system
  instability.
