If you haven't already, you can run:
$ irrecord --force
to run irrecord in raw mode (most likely to record something), or you can run:
$ irrecord /etc/lircd.conf
if you have a valid lircd.conf already in place for the remote. The
new config will be output in /etc/lircd.conf.conf with (hopefully) the
new codes you record.
