I know, I know; it's gimmicky. I don't care. I want to be able to use it because it is there.

I first installed the Raemote widget. It worked flawlessly. I then installed QtIrreco and manually configured necessary items. Nothing. Initiated lirc with sudo - nothing.

And now Raemote works not at all...

Something in the repositories are conflicting. Please help me. I can't live with a non functioning hardware component - even if I never use it again. It is counter to my being.

(Do I have to install the power kernel? I plan on doing that anyway.)

Many thanks,

Abe
