 Image The current MythBuntu release (7.10) doesn't contain automatic CommandIR setup yet, but these steps will help you install quickly and easily:

  1. Install MythBuntu - We recommend standard automatic installation
  2. When prompted to choose a remote:
    • Choose remote:  'Other Remote'
    • Kernel modules: 'No Driver Needed'
    • Driver: 'No Driver Needed'
    • Configuration File: Choose your remote's configuration file from the list, or choose none to install later
  3. Complete the installation.  When done, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to the terminal and login - if needed, "sudo -s" to get root access.
  4. Go to the /etc/lirc directory: "cd /etc/lirc"
  5. Replace hardware.conf with the CommandIR hardware.conf at http://support.commandir.com/hardware.conf : "wget http://support.commandir.com/hardware.conf"
  6. Replace the lircd.conf with your own from http://lircconfig.commandir.com, or download the default configured for the hauppauge_pvr remote: "wget http://support.commandir.com/lircd.conf"
  7. Replace the ~/.lircrc with your lircrc from LIRC Config, or try generating one by running "mythbuntu-lircrc-generator"
  8. Restart LIRC: "/etc/init.d/lirc restart"
  9. Test your setup with the Sanity Checks.
  10. Restart any programs that use LIRC (or reboot). 

 Alternatively, for manual installation the generic Ubuntu Feisty setup guide will also work.
