As far as i can see your user is already enabled, so either you found the mail, or somebody beat me to it.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've looked for 2 hours now and no success.
I have a number of remotes (MCE/non-MCE), but I really like using the SkyHD remote for my bedroom HTPC (currently XP using IRSS).
However I want to change to OpenElec, but the remote doesnt show any codes during IRW, while the MCE show buttons pressed.
I think It has to do with the lircd.conf not having the Sky remote codes.
As the system is read-only, how can I edit the file to include my remote? or can I place the file somewhere else?

That will only work if lirc knows what the codes are being sent from the remote.
Lirc converts the sent signals to functions which xbmc can use.
But I cant edit lircd.conf to add my remote.

Can't seem to get this installed on the USB stick, let alone on an Apple TV internal HDD. I'm doing this from the Apple TV itself as it's the only device I have any form of Linux on at the moment. I'm sure the USB stick is good because I already used it to install Crystalbuntu on the original HDD and that went without a hitch.
When running the script (I SSH in via PuTTy) this is what I get. I blank the USB stick with zeroes first, as suggested
It then drops back to command prompt. I reboot to Recovery via the Apple TV remote by holding down - and MENU as suggested, and all that happens is the USB stick is ignored and Crystalbuntu boots as normal.
In the meantime I'm going to try booting some other Linux LiveCD on my laptop and prep the USB stick that way...

Nevermind. I got it installed and it's worse than Crystalbuntu, I think.
