Anyone?

here is some more info:
mitchell at 0013d477b961:~$ sudo lircd -n
lircd-0.8.4a[2828]: lircd(default) ready
lircd-0.8.4a[2828]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.4a[2828]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
lircd-0.8.4a[2828]: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.4a[2828]: Failed to initialize hardware
^Clircd-0.8.4a[2828]: caught signal

~dmesg~
[   18.481525] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
[   23.263673] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[   23.796053] lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
[   23.796062] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0

This took about 2 mins in fedora.  I thought ubuntu was suppose to be easy?
