Same issues still occur on Ubuntu 23.04 (including the older readline error with flirc_util).
I've even chown'ed and chmod'ed the hidraw and hiddev devices in /dev/ to give my user access.
Anything we can do to get this fixed or moving along?

Good morning everyone,
I've recently received my Skip 1s and Flirc USB and have some ideas/suggestions/questions. For that to make sense, I'll need to write a bit about how I came to make this post.
Background story
I found out about the Skip 1s online and think it looks amazing, the Flirc USB also looks great and the feature set of both devices good (especially since it has Linux support, which is a killer feature for me, as a daily Linux user). The Harmony remote of a "friend" broke and I want to replace it, to make his/her life a lot simpler. So I went and ordered these devices and attempted to configure the Skip 1s (the Flirc USB was more a fallback option, but since I'm a techie, I wanted to check it out as well).
Skip 1s app
So I downloaded the Skip 1s app (manual Linux version, NOT the repository version). And here I was confronted with a couple of issues on my Ubuntu 23.04 system:
user@host:~$ ./Flirc
[E] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_minor_version(498): something bad happened
[W] gui/Flirc/src/main.cpp log_setup(131): flirc.ini not in the default location[E] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_major_version(508): something bad happened

user@host:~$ ./flirc_util device_log
device disconnected, can't run command
Ideas / suggestions / questions
So I have several ideas / suggestions / questions, based on the experience above:
Apologies for creating a single forum topic with several topics in them, but it is all very intertwined. Just trying to help out here :-)
