The new lirc version 0.9.4c (zesty) sports a much-simplified systemd setup which lacks this kind of initialization. Could you make a check with this new package? Please note that the update requires major configuration changes

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller With the following installed versions... kernel: 2.6.38-10-generic lircd: 0.8.7 ...and configured using the devinput driver (config generated via "dpkg-reconfigure lirc") I get this error in syslog and lirc fails to work: kernel: [ 20.254591] imon 2-7:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support kernel: [ 20.254597] imon 2-7:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol Running lircd manually works... sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -n --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:0b.0-usb-0:7:1.0-event So to get lirc working when launched via the init script I have to comment out the in_kernel_support() function so that it doesn't try setting the incorrect protocol.
