[QUOTE="gig, post: 514244, member: 28031"] using the XBMC-Live, everything schould work out of the box. Ctrl-Alt+[F1,F2,F3 ...], schould take to the terminal. If for some reason it was disabled in the Live version of XBMC. You can ssh to the box. [CODE]ps axu | grep lirc[/CODE] schould show you whether lirc is running. (on XBMC-Live I belive it is present) if not [CODE]/etc/init.d/lircd start[/CODE] will start the lircd for you. If for some reason it was not installed: [CODE]sudo apt-get install lirc[/CODE] will install the lirc for you in order to check whether the signals from your remote are recognized run [CODE]irw[/CODE] and press some button on the remote. you schould see some output. [B]Ctrl + c[/B] will end the [B]irw [/B]process. If you willing to stay with XBMC on linux. i suggest you have a look at XBMC wiki, there are few articles explaining installation on linux and few troubleshooting tips. in "XBMC Tips, Tricks, and HOW-TO (Step-by-Step Guides) " you find plenty of Linux tutorials with tips regarding ALSA (linux sound system) I dont think that the XBMC forum is useless, it contain lots of information, I believe it contains everything you need in order to set up your box. One more thing. A Philips USB IR recive, which I have been using on linux for quite while stopped working after I installed Vista and used the receiver in conjunction with MP. It stopped working under linux (Ubuntu 9.04), but was still working on my Ubuntu 8.10 installation. I got it work on 9.04 using older Lirc. good luck! [/QUOTE]
