A few moths ago, I purchased Flirc and programmed it on my windows machine using the Panasonic TV profile as posted at
Plugged the Flicr dongle into my XBMCBUNTU machine and everything worked great. Best gadget I have ever purchased.
I have since had to reinstall XBMC on that machine and instead of using XBMCBUNTU like I originally did, I installed Ubuntu and added the xbmc packages. I was expecting to just plug the Flicr dongle in and it would work just like before since the programming is contained on the dongle, but it now does nothing. The remote is sending the command(based on the feedback indicator on the remote), but I get no response on the XBMC machine.
I did the obvious things:
1. Add 'deb http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/i386 binary/' to /etc/apt/sources.list
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install flirc
Enabled the 'remote sends keyboard commands' option within the XBMC configuration.
Was there some other step that I had forgotten or overlooked that was part of the XBMCBuntu install that would be missing by installing the full OS?
I have ran out of ideas of what to check, where to look, etc
Any suggestions?
