I've just installed with unetbootin onto a 16Gb USB flash drive.
Should the MCE remote work out of the box ? If yes I can provide the logs because it doesn't seem to work here.
Also if I try to ssh with putty from my main PC I get an error with user : xbmc pass : xbmc Has it changed since Dharma ?

To my knowledge only the Genuine Microsoft one works 100% out the box.
I have the MS MCE remote and works with no configuration.
The username and password would be whatever you set it as, mine is xbmc / xbmc

I use an MCE IR receiver with a universal learning remote control I found online a couple of years ago (I can actually use almost any IR remote I have lying around). I use LIRC and created my own lirc.conf using irrecord and configured XBMC accordingly. Have you tried/do you want to try that?

as far as i can tell with xbmcbuntu at least all that is needed for an mce remote is to enable remote control sends keyboard presses.

I have a genuine Microsoft remote and not everything works out of the box. The "info" and "back" buttons do not seem to work. Activating "remote control sends keyboard presses" gives better results, but I am not sure that the bindings are correct out of the box: the "info" button does not have the same behaviour as the right mouse click.

I also installed using unetbootin and I also have zero functionality with my tried and true mce remote. I have enabled "remote control sends keyboard presses" but still have no buttons functioning. The red light is showing that the IR receiver is recognizing sent commands, nothing processes.
