I'll install the other packages one by one tommorow to isolate which is causing the issue..

Hi, I've been trying to troubleshoot some of the lirc stuff as well. I recently switched from my pinnacle usb mceusb remote recevier to a lirc_rpi one. I added lirc_rpi to /etc/modules and removed the hardware/custom.conf I put into /etc/lirc. The lirc_rpi definitely works better. However, I am getting the 2-for-one double key press problem. It may have something to do with a virtual input device? I notice that when I run "service lirc start" lircd runs, and I also get a dmesg output like:

Terminal

input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input0

and I also get the double button press. However, if I then run "service lirc stop" and then simply "lircd", I get no virtual device set up, and no double key presses and the remote acts like I want it to. So maybe there is something up with the lirc init script?

Also, though, after a while key presses crash xbmc into a black screen, which recovers only when I restart xbmc. Nothing about it that I noticed in xbmc.log or dmesg.

Also since a recent update, when I log into xbian's samba sever via my mac lion, I don't have proper permissions, and I can't copy anything to it. I ran chmod a+wr on everything and it didn't make a difference. This happened with some earlier update, but then got better, but now it seems to have regressed.
