Few days ago, I got it working on my laptop. The way I did it is: I removed previously install LIRC by make uninstall and removing from apt-get. Next I install CVS version by make & make install, and than reinstalled version from apt-get "sudo apt-get install lirc". This somehow worked (maybe CVS version had some extra files which wasn't included in Ubuntu's repository).
On Laptop it works just fine, I even installed XBMC to see if it will work there, and it did.

However, when I started to do the same things on my HTPC (the installation of LIRC). I did everything 100% same like what I did on laptop. Next, on HTPC, I connected receiver into USB port and run irw in terminal. I tried pressing few things on my remote...irw didn't return anything.. and also... receiver's light after that would not turn off, always stay on, unless I unplug the receiver.

I unplug and pluged the receiver few times and used dmesg in terminal
Code:
[22490.424020] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

[22579.004128] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Then I tried using modprobe
Code:
[xxx xxx-desktop uhci_hcd]$ modprobe -r uhci_hcd
FATAL: Module uhci_hcd not found.
Is there something wrong with driver for my USB ports?
