any ideas how to get this working in ubuntu 9.04?
You need to specify the device for mode2, in this case /dev/ttyUSB0. See "mode2 --help" for how to specify the mode and other params.
I gave up on using the USB-UIRT as a receiver under Ubuntu, I'm just using it as a blaster. The key to using it as a blaster is that that having a code repeat in the .conf makes it not work, so you need to remove that and manually do the repeats in your channel changing script... PITA! Using it as a receiver kinda worked, but I needed to learn the codes using a different receiver, and it sometimes lost sync and I had to unplug/replug the thing. That lowered the WAF too much so I'm using a very reliable HDHomeRun device as my IR receiver now.
