[mythtv-users] Struggling with Lirc

I'm having some problem to get MythTV work with LIRC again after a upgrade
to Ubuntu 14.04.

irw is working, f.ex. gives me:
000000008001016d 01 KEY_EPG devinput
0000000080010067 00 KEY_UP devinput
0000000080010181 00 KEY_RADIO devinput
0000000080010069 00 KEY_LEFT devinput
000000008001006a 00 KEY_RIGHT devinput
00000000800100ae 00 KEY_EXIT devinput
000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput
000000008001008b 00 KEY_MENU devinput
0000000080010073 00 KEY_VOLUMEUP devinput
0000000080010072 00 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN devinput
000000008001019c 00 KEY_PREVIOUS devinput
0000000080010071 00 KEY_MUTE devinput
0000000080010192 00 KEY_CHANNELUP devinput
0000000080010193 00 KEY_CHANNELDOWN devinput

In the frontend log i see this:
LIRC: Successfully initialized '/var/run/lirc/lircd' using
'/home/stefan/.mythtv/lircrc' config

Part of my lircrc file in .mythtv (which is a link to .lirc/mythtv) looks
like this:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_UP
config = Up
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_DOWN
config = Down
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_LEFT
config = Left
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_RIGHT
config = Right
end

So i don't understand why it wont work? The frontend says that the
initialization is successful. The keynames from irw is the same as the
keynames in lircrc file. Shouldn't that be enough?

Either i should never make a Ubuntu upgrade again, or i should make it more
often so i don't forget things =) Everything worked perfect before the
upgrade.

Any help appreciated.
