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 lirc-compat-remotes, you also get the /usr/share/lirc/remotes-directory with the configuration files back.
I'm having still issues with double pressed keys using this configuration, so for now I stick to the downgrade workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788235 Title: lirc broken on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1788235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
