[mythtv-users] MCE USB Lirc Problems

[Brian]

I am having trouble getting my MCE remote working with Lirc, trying to
use Jarods guide as an example. I installed via apt-get then copied the
correct mceusb config file to /etc/lircd.conf I added the line add above
ivtv lirc_dev lirc_mceusb and alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb to
/etc/modules.conf according to the guide. Starting up lirc looked good
with depmod -a and modprobe lirc_mceusb then service lircd start gave me
the OK. When I run irw to test it just takes me straight back to command
prompt and does not show any remote signals.  Trying to diagnose I get
the following messages, but do not understand them, any help would be
much appreciated.

[root at localhost root]# /sbin/service lircd status
lircd dead but subsys locked
