Just updated my frontend to Ubuntu Jaunty.

Most of everything worked out of the box... But the IR receiver didn’t work properly.

The direction keys of my remote wouldn’t work

So I created a patch for LIRC 0.8.4a that ships with Jaunty.

http://www.avenard.org/files/media/lirc/lirc-0.8.4a.imon.patch

To install.

sudo apt-get install lirc-modules-source

cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a/

sudo patch -p1 < /path/to/lirc-0.8.4a.imon.patch

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

either reboot or type:

sudo rmmod lirc_imon

sudo rmmod lirc_dev

sudo modprobe lirc_imon

That's it

For getting the remote control to work, follow the instructions there:
