I upgraded from MythTV 0.21 to 0.22 today (and Ubuntu Jaunty to Karmic) using MythBuntu. Everything works.... eventually. I haven't been able to identify exactly what is going on, but when the frontend first starts up, it is responsive to the keyboard, but it ignores the remote. After a while, possibly after some mouse motion and clicks, the remote starts working.<br>
<br>MythTV is connecting to the lircd at startup and irw works consistently without any sort of delay. I thought it might be some kind of window focus issue, but I'm using native lirc support which supposedly isn't impacted by window focus.<br>

<br>I wait another couple minutes. Then I use the keyboard and mouse, move through the menu a bit, click, right click, move the mouse. Then the remote starts working at 00:13:00 - a full 5 minutes after I started mythv.<br>
