</span>Thanks for your replies.<br>
<br>
The lircd.conf files look OK to me...<br>
<br>
$ cat /etc/lirc/lircd.conf<br>
#This configuration has been automatically generated via<br>
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.<br>
#<br>
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or<br>
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.<br>
#<br>
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration<br>
#via additional include directives or below the existing<br>
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or<br>
#transmitter.<br>
<br>
#Configuration for the Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all) remote:<br>
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"<br>
<br>
<br>
lircd.conf.mceusb is the file supplied with mythbuntu:<br>
<a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30388548/lircd.conf.mceusb" target="_blank">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30388548/lircd.conf.mceusb</a><br>
<br>
Trying:<br>
<br>
$ ircat -c ./.lircrc<br>
<br>
in my home directory, which has the config from the previously working<br>
machine, also produces no output.<br>
<br>
Anything else?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
