I ran in to similar issues. I came across this:
https://twosortoftechguys.wordpress.com/2018/07/24/make-lirc-work-in-ubuntu-18-04/
. The issue being lirc in 18.04 has issues and downgrading lirc fixes them.
It's very helpful if you keep all your /etc/lirc files and the remotes/
files from your previous working install to copy back over.
