I've installed Mythbuntu 12.04.2 on a new ASUS H87I Plus I5, MythTV works fine but I'm unable to get a (Pinicale)PCTV MCE remote to work.
I have the same Mythbuntu running on an old Dell Optiplex and the remote works on that installation, but not on the new ASUS H87I. I've spent a lot of time surfing trying to find a solution. The system appears to see the USB receiver, but when I run irw, there is no output.
Below are what I've are the most asked commands to run with similar problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really want to dump the old optiplex.

I've installed Windows 7 and tested the remote with Media Center and it works fine, so there must be something I'm missing. The system recognizes the receiver, but doesn't see the signals.
