 I purchased a USB remote in the end. Worked out of the box.

This issue is still present in Maverik. 
Blacklisting ir_common does not work for me (using saa7134). The only solution 
seems to fiddle around in the kernel. Not very nice! Is there any more viable 
solution?

[itchy8me]

module ir_common is still loaded by default in kernel 2.6.32-23-server
(ubuntu lucid). Lirc still not usable when its loaded. blacklisting
ir_common in blacklist.conf and then reinstalling lirc worked for me.

[Paul McCormack]

Liam, I managed to fix mine by following this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183545

The only problem now is that the remote works intermittently (about one in four 
presses). I believe that this is a kernel timing issue as stated here:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=566843&p=3#r54

I haven't tried that yet so I cannot confirm if this completes the
solution.

[Bug 67399] Re: Module ir_common interfeers with lirc

[Liam O'Reilly]

I am new to MythTV and are trying to get a nice setup. Trying to get my
rmeote to work is a nightmare. Soem buttons work such as 1..9, vol+/-
power, mute and play - i believe these are being handled by ir_common. I
have followed the tutorials for getting lirc to work, but it cannot get
exclisive access to the event driver /dev/input/event6 in my case.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 output of "uname -a" is
Linux mypc 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

I believe this is still a bug that is not fixed.

[Paul McCormack]

Not so fast!  I am using 2.6.24 (latest Hardy updates) but I have this
problem.  As other users report, this is a major deal for MythTV users
as it makes the remote practically useless.  I'm waiting for the Ibex
release next week in the hope that it is fixed with the new release, but
I'm concerned that this bug has been marked as fixed when it isn't
working for me.

Thanks for the update Simon.  It would seem this is resolved with Hardy.
I'm marking this "Fix Released" then.  Thanks.

[Simon Harrison]

Sorry I'm new here so forgive any etiquette slips.

I can confirm that in Hardy 8.04 and 8.04.1 i386 Desktop LTS, this behaviour 
does NOT happen. When LIRC is not loaded, the common buttons (0-9, ESC, Return, 
Mute, Vol +/-) are passed to the kernel. When LIRC is loaded, they are passed 
to the correct apps as defined in lircrc.

[Leann Ogasawara]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release.  As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1)  If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-
image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and
test.

--or--

2)  The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer
2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.  Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4.
Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced.
You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the
bug reported here or if the issue remains.  More importantly, please
open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the
2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.  Also, please
specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26
kernel.  Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Leann Ogasawara]

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any recent
activity.  Just curious if someone can confirm if this is still an issue
with the latest Hardy Heron 8.04 Alpha release:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing ?  The Hardy Heron Alpha series is
currently under development and contains an updated version of the
kernel.  You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD.
If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report
back your results.  We'll keep this report open against the actively
developed kernel bug against 2.6.17 this will be closed as it does not
qualify for a stable release update.  Thanks.

This is a major pita for anyone wanting to install mythtv on ubuntu.

I really don't want to have to build a new kernel!

[Bug 67399] Re: Module ir_common interfeers with lirc

[hexion]

I've made the trick.

There's to do this in order to keep lirc users able to user lirc as in
dapper:

In kernel source tree, edit this file:

drivers/media/common/ir-keymaps.c

It contains definitions of certain tv card remote controls. To avoid
kernel catching remote control signals, there's to delete such
definitions.

I've attached the file that made the trick with last edgy kernel.

When compiling kernel with new ir-keymaps.c, ir_common module is still
present, but it wont do any harm to lirc users again.


When kernel.org provides a way to change functions to remote control keys (or 
even deactive it), ubuntu should come back to use their ir-keymaps.c archive.

** Attachment added: "New ir-keymap.c  This one works well with edgy. It 
removes new 2.6.17 management of remote controls by default"
