I've installed Mythbuntu and during the install I selected my hauppauge tv card and the remote doesn't work. Now what do I do?

I see a .lircrc file in my home dir but ps -ef|grep lirc yields nothing. I've read on other posts that the kernel is now handling this but I don't know what to try. irw isn't installed.

How does a program get signals from the remote without lirc installed? Where are the config files I need to look at? How can I debug this?

Personally, with my Nova-T usb tv stick and remote I install lirc, sudo apt-get install lirc and choose my usb tv stick and when choosing the remote it doesn't really show me it listed, so I just choose anything. I stop the lirc service, sudo service lirc stop and run cat /proc/bus/input/devices which gives me

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=2040 Product=7070 Version=0100
N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/rc/rc0/input14
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event14

I then edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and change REMOTE_DEVICE= to REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event14" to match my remotes event id, then restart lirc, sudo service lirc start

Hope this helps somewhat.
