Had to reinstall my OS as drive failed and having issues
How do I copy over the keyboard.xml and lirc.xml
When I try to copy and paste it tells me I don't have permission.
This is doing my head in.

You could use "sudo" to copy it, then "chown" to change the ownership to be yours.

sudo chmod +r /path/to/original-keyboard.xml
cp /path/to/original-keyboard.xml ~/.xbmc/userdata

if you have to sudo to copy a file to your homedir you have bigger issues.

I figured out a way of doing it.( gksu nautilus) But in my wisdom i also modified the Lircmap.xml file. Is there a way of going back to the original or would a fresh install be best.
