I have a flirc-se to use with my htpc (ubuntu+kodi). Everything worked
fine until I tried to program the remote control (harmony 650) to use
some hot keys (F8 to F12) I had added to the keyboard to switch between
kodi and various configurations of google-chrome (for different streaming
services). After adding the hot keys to the flirc-se configuration and
rebooting the boot stopped after a few second (I could hear the fans
stop) and started again. This sequence just kept repeating until I turned
off the power supply. I then removed the flirc-se power switch cable
from the motherboard and reattached the power switch cable from the front
panel but kept the usb cable from the flirc-se connected. The pc then
booted normally but the cursor behaved strangely. When I opened a
selection window the cursor sequentially lite up the selections and I
could not select any. Also when I opened a terminal window the terminal
kept cycling through the terminal history. I could not log out of ubuntu
but had to turn off the power supply. After disconnecting the usb cable
from the flirc-se the pc behaved normally. Any suggestions, please.
