While I am sure LIRC has a lot of uses. I would wager 90% of its users
are using kodi. At times it can be difficult to find a good howoto
guide, that walks you through a freshly installed ubuntu system, to a
working LIRC remote. I am very happy to have mine working again.

I forgot a couple steps, here was all of them:

sudo apt purge ir-keytable lirc
sudo apt-get install -y lirc lirc-compat-remotes
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
sudo irw
sudo systemctl stop lircd-uinput.service
sudo systemctl disable lircd-uinput.service

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.
