I'm using a Macbook. Permissions are 666.

Thank you Christoph. That helped, although I'm puzzled. irw still isn't working. It connects to the lircd but doesn't output anything.

If all logs are clean/etc. then perhaps you have no remote defined or wrong remote? mike Identify Target wrote: > Thank you Christoph. That helped, although I'm puzzled. irw still > isn't working.

SOLVED: ok here is what I did to get it to work properly. 1. Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 minimal 2. add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main universe multiverse restricted 3. Next install the latest version of lirc 0.8.4a sudo apt-get install lirc -t intrepid-backports 4. Test irw irw And it worked. :D Hope this helps someone.
