Shut down mythfrontend and try "ircat mythtv" from a command prompt
with the same user as mythfrontend is run from. Does that show any
input from the remote?
Also, I have just done the 16.04 to 18.04.1 upgrade on my main MythTV
box, and for some reason the lirc update did not install the new
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf file. Check if that happened to you. It should
look like this:
# Populated config files can be found at http://sf.net/p/lirc-remotes.
The
# irdb-get(1) and lirc-setup(1) tools can be used to search and
download
# config files.
#
# From 0.9.2 config files could just be dropped as-is in the
lircd.conf.d
# directory and be included by this file.
include "lircd.conf.d/*.conf"
If it does not, then you need to do this from a root prompt:
cd /etc/lirc
cp -a lircd.conf.dist lircd.conf
If you want to keep the old lircd.conf, rename it first:
mv lircd.conf lircd.conf.16.04
