LinuxQuestions.org - MCE Remote Control and Ubuntu 17.04-17.10

I am trying to get my MCE remote to work with Ubuntu 17.10. It seems the remote control IR stuff has been moved into the kernel and the old LIRC stuff is now not working.

From my reading (and this) I had to

Code:

cp /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce /etc/rc_keymaps/

However, attempting to load rc6_mce I get

Code:

 sudo ir-keytable -a /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce

Invalid parameter on line 2 of /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce

Invalid parameter(s)

ir-keytable: -a: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!?

The top of rc6_mce is as distributed:

Code:

# table rc6_mce, type: RC6

0x800f0400 KEY_NUMERIC_0

0x800f0401 KEY_NUMERIC_1

0x800f0402 KEY_NUMERIC_2

What am I doing wrong?
