After my HDD dies i decided this would be a good time to upgrade from ubuntu 12.10 to ubuntu 14.04
I have the same setup, just replaced the hard drive and installed Ubuntu 14.04 (x64)
XBMc and my mce remote via lirc worked fine before with no errors. Now, with ubuntu 14.04 Lirc seems to keep crashing after a long time of inactivity (say 30 minutes). On boot i can use the remote to control XBMC with no issues. I can navigate to a video and start playing. I can pause and use commands find. But after 30 minutes, or by the time the video has finished i cannot use the remote anymore. I cannot seem to find out what's wrong with it. The only this to get it to work again is to reboot. I have tried removing (with --purge) lirc and reinstalling again from scratch, using another usb port but nothing works. This is very frustrating as using a keyboard or android phone as a remove it not ideal.
Details:
cat /var/log/syslog
dmesg | grep -i lirc
ls -l /dev/lirc*
ps ax | grep lirc
lircd --version
uname -a
