If your remote is serial, make sure that you have /etc/serial.conf and 
that it has:

/dev/ttyS0 uart none

in it.  I had a similar problem a few weeks ago 
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/453031?search_string=mythbuntu%20lirc;#453031) 
when I upgraded to Mythbuntu 10.10.  I have an IR receiver from 
irblaster.info and its a serial device on COM1.  I've also had issues in 
the past with the include statement in the /etc/lircmd.conf file.  I 
needs to have double quotes around the path and file following the 
include statement.

Hope this helps!
