I had no problems using my Windows Media Center Remote with 10.10 Mythbuntu, but after upgrading, it no longer affects Mythbuntu.

I have verified and re-installed it in Mythbuntu Control Centre.

I have used irw to verify the ir buttons actions are properly received by the HTPC.

How do I go about fixing this?
