So when you press the green button it has two keypresses, or does it give a keypress for pushing the button then releasing the button. Using it on the context menu could be opening and closing it in one physical keypress because lirc is Reading two.
Try mapping the green button to something that you can test this theory with. For example try mapping the green button to go right/down then check it in the menu. If this is the case then comment one of the entries out of your lircd.conf and try mapping again to context.

Let me know how it goes

Now I'm using a Logitech Harmony 525, I'm loving it but still getting the Logitech team to help with direction button repeats.

When you nano try this instead;
Code:
sudo nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

sudo is your friend

Or you can create a root user and login with root, if you do this then its probably best to disable it again. For sudo information see here:

I have the imon LCD (but use the PS3 remote instead of the Antec remote) and the steps given in the tutorial on the first page work well for getting the LCD working without issue. The only thing I think I did differently on mine is in the /etc/LCDd.conf file I set it to OnExit=2, which is able to turn off the LCD when shutting down (unless I just hold the power button on the case to shut it down instead of shutting it down properly)..

XBMCbuntu {Frodo} - Ubuntu 12.04 (Main):
Intel Q6600 [2.4GHz Quad Core], 4GB DDR3, nVidia GT-210, Antec Fusion Case (iMon LCD), PS3 BD Remote

XBMC Live {Frodo} - Ubuntu 10.04 (Bedroom): Intel Atom D510 [1.66GHz Dual Core], ION Graphics, 2GB DDR2, PS3 BD Remote

Hi,

I'll be back from my Hols in a few days, but then maybe I'm in Birmingham away from home. I'll be installing Eden very soon, I've held off while I await a few tries of getting imon LCD running well. When I've got my LCD and harmony remote working I'll come back here and report on the how-to and let you know if there are any changes to get the LCD and remote working.

FYI, I now use a harmony remote programmed as a Windows Media Center remote, better range, better control and works flawlessly!
