How do I troubleshoot my remote control? It is a standard MCE remote, and it works perfectly controlling XBMC. I am trying to set it up so it launches xbmc when I press the big green button. I have followed the steps here: http://noods.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/ho...on-ubuntu/
but it isn't working for me. I did some digging online and learned about the irw command, and when I run it, and then press the Big Green Button, I can see the KEY_HOME in the terminal.

lircd is running, and my configuration files look just like the ones in that tutorial (not posting them now just to save space, but I can post them if desired).

I am running ubuntu 12.10

Pretty sure step 5 is wrong.
The button name from irw has to match the button name in the irexec .lircrc file
/home/user/.lircrc <--- is the name of the file not irexec

Code:

begin
     remote = the name of your remote mceusb?
     button = the name of your button as identified by irw
     prog = irexec
     repeat = 0
     config = /home/user/the name of the script you want to run
end

Booyah! That was it! Thanks
