[Bug 1788235] Re: lirc broken on 18.04

 

I can confirm that the workaround works.

I think the main problem is that bionic's lirc is using a different
configuration file for lirc (lirc_options.conf instead of
hardware.conf). I can make my remote work by setting the driver up in
lirc_options.conf manually. By installing lirc-compat-remotes, you also
get the /usr/share/lirc/remotes-directory with the configuration files
back.

I'm having still issues with double pressed keys using this
configuration, so for now I stick to the downgrade workaround.

Title:
  lirc broken on 18.04

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lirc 0.10.0-2 is never configured after installation. Manually running
  "dpkg-reconfigure lirc " also does not do anything. I also noticed
  that /usr/share/lirc/remotes is empty, which is where I had my config
  file for Ubuntu 16.04.

  This was an upgrade install from 16.04.
  Searching the web indicates others have this problem. Some have reverted to the lirc from 16.04. Others recommend using pip3 to install lirc 0.10.10, but I have been unsuccessful so far.
