Basically, it isn't buggy but requires manual intervention when updating. A script called lirc-setup is however broken. It's primary use-case is fresh installs rather than updates which have no need for it. A workaround to make it wotk could be found in comment #2.
Some users have had problems with duplicated keys caused by the lirc- uinput.service running. Stopping the service fixes this (it is not enabled by default in recent updates). However, the main problem is users claiming that lirc should work as before without changes after a fully unattended update. I have done what I can to describe that this is not the case... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791409 Title: LIRC not working on Ubuntu 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1791409/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
