Hi, please could you let me know how you solved this as I have the same problem.
I have recently installed 32 bit ubuntu 14.04 and I downloaded the .zip file for the gui Flirc.zip [v1.2.4] (Linux 32bit / raspii version).
I extracted the .zip file and navigated to /Downloads/release/linux/ and double clicked the 'Flirc' executable file. This loaded the GUI, but neither the GUI nor my computer will recognise the Flirc usb dongle.
I initially thought I have a broken dongle, but your post gives me hope. Please let me know what worked for you.

OK, so I found the solution to my problem, which results from being a linux noob.
As the apt-get repository is broken, the file neede to be downloaded from the .zip and opened as root.
This is where I went wrong.
To open as root i needed to type into the terminal (ctrl alt t):
cd ~/Downloads/release/linux/
sudo ./Flirc
Then it found the usb and setting up was easy. Hope this helps some other noobs ;-)

Burke, awesome thread. I had been thinking of doing exactly this, and now I know how.
As it happens I have the same remote - the OneForAll urc 7140. Now I have a single remote to control my xbmc box, amp, and satellite receiver. If only I could get a code for it to control my optoma projector, it will be the perfect setup (for me).
Again, thanks for an informative post.
