The script for Ubuntu 21.10 is here:

http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/lirc-ubuntu-21.10-install.sh

The only change from the 20.04 version is a slightly different
download location for the lirc source code.  I have tested this in a
VirtualBox virtual machine where I set up mythfrontend only and
connected it to my main MythTV box.  I was using a Pinnacle PCTV 73e
USB DVB-T tuner as my IR device, and a Hauppague RC5 remote.

Once you get lirc working with the script, there are still quite a few
steps to get it working with mythfrontend, such as getting the right
.lircrc files and making mythfrontend find them.  So what sort of
remote are you using?
