Hello I need some expert help here.

I am running the 12 alpha 4 xbmcbuntu but I cant get my remote working no matter what I try.

XBMC (12.0-ALPHA4 Git:Unknown), Platform: Linux (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, 3.2.0-29-generic-pae i686). Built on Jul 27 2012

lsusb out out in this:

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1934:5168 Feature Integration Technology Inc. (Fintek) F71610A or F71612A Consumer Infrared Receiver/Transceiver

I have the HP Media Center IR Infrared USB Receiver OVU400102/71

when I run "irw" and press buttons on the remote I can see the led in the reciver lighting up so I am sending a signal to receiver but no output at the console.

I have configured lircd but it is just not working.

What am I missing?

I just had a moment when it worked an I could see button presses in irw but now after a reboot it has stopped again?

Tearing out my own hair at the moment..........


I have had a development after a cold boot it works but then after a reboot it no longer shows in lsusb ?

Could I have a faulty Infrared USB Receiver?
Maybe related to the problem in this thread?
