^fails. If I add the lirc group, then I can run 'sg dialout lirc-setup',
and setup, and even make ir receiver react, but testing by irw still
does not display anything. Is there some guide for what has changed so
that setting up correctly would be easier?

Thanks Alec. I'm a Linux nobi and your fixes are definitely better

Has anyone cared
Kodi definitely works with the latest versions of Lirc and the problem
is very easy to fix so stop downgrading your systems to an older version
of Lirc
The problem is Kodi defaults to looking for a Lirc socket at /dev/lircd
which doesn’t exist anymore. In Lirc > 0.9.0 the socket is now
So, changing status.
@xekon: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do anything at all...

Right, from my point of view
@seb128) So to answer your question directly, Yes, that is what I was
saying, at least in my situation, that Lirc is functioning properly and
I have zero complaints.
I have not yet tested the ir sending functionality yet, but ir receiving

@seb128: The missing UI refers to the reconfiguration UI which was part
of lirc up to 0.9.0. This reflected even older code containing kernel
modules where lirc was rebuilt from source depending on configuration.
Nowadays lirc is a just a server with configuration files and there is
no need to
Hi Alec Leamas and Sebastien Bacher, I did not actually open this bug
report. Somebody else did. I merely added to it my experience, also from
my point of view you are both exactly right, because currently my Lirc

Seems that we agree that the idea that lirc as of 18.04 is "broken" is
plain wrong.
The problem is about making a correct upgrade which involves manual
steps as described in README.Debian (with a notification in the upgrade
message).

This might be the truth as seen from the kodi community. However, from
an upstream lirc point of view I cannot really see that the number of
kodi users are dominating in any way.

While I am sure LIRC has a lot of uses. I would wager 90% of its users
are using kodi. At times it can be difficult to find a good howoto
guide, that walks you through a freshly installed ubuntu system, to a
working LIRC remote. I am very happy to have mine working again.
I forgot a couple steps,
Now, considering these reports one cannot IMHO really say that lirc is
'broken'. What could be said is that the upgrade to the new version
requires manual steps, none of which mentioned in this report.
The manual steps are documented in the file
/usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian.gz -- this is
I actually have lirc 0.10.0-2 working again:
I actually had lirc_0.10.0-2 installed and working (and it still does on
my other system)
but for some reason after dist-upgrade and a reboot it was broken.
I followed the workaround listed 0.9, it worked.
I then unmarked the package as held and
I just wanted to report that initially I was using Ubuntu 18.04 and the
lirc from the repository worked, appears to be:
apt-cache show lirc
Package: lirc
I can confirm that the workaround works.
I think the main problem is that bionic's lirc is using a different
configuration file for lirc (lirc_options.conf instead of
hardware.conf). I can make my remote work by setting the driver up in
lirc_options.conf manually. By installing
@leamas-alec Any ideas on a proper fix?

I can confirm the issue on a recently fresh installed Ubuntu Server
18.04. The goal was to transform the installation to a HTPC running kodi
and tvheadend (hts). Here are some links to guys who had the same
experience and offer a workaround until the fix of the package.
