lirc-setup complained that I wasn't a member of the group 'lirc'. The error message told me to do the following

$ sudo usermod -aG lirc troy [sudo] password for troy: usermod: group 'lirc' does not exist $ sudo groupadd lirc $ sudo usermod -aG lirc troy

However, I still have this problem:

$ mode2 Using driver devinput on device auto Cannot initiate device /dev/input/event3

in lirc-setup, I clicked "use default driver..." and then "Test" and was told that I need to use the group "video"

$ sudo usermod -aG video troy

Now, after the same steps, I'm told to

$ cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols rc-5 nec [rc-6] jvc sony rc-5-sz sanyo sharp mce_kbd xmp imon rc-mm [lirc]

$ sudo /bin/sh -c "echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols"

I gave up and rebooted to my other OS for a while. When I tried again, I got this:

$ mode2 Using driver devinput on device /dev/input/by-id/usb-Philips_eHome_Infrared_Transceiver_PH00UFLi-event-if00 Trying device: /dev/input/by-id/usb-Philips_eHome_Infrared_Transceiver_PH00UFLi-event-if00 Using device: /dev/input/by

That's much more encouraging!

/etc/lirc$ less lirc_options.conf

[lircd] nodaemon = False driver = default device = /dev/lirc0 output = /var/run/lirc/lircd -id/usb-Philips_eHome_Infrared_Transceiver_PH00UFLi-event-if00

Other Software I installed mirage image viewer using instructions from https://askubuntu.com/questions/1232470/how-do-i-install-the-mirage-image-viewer-on-ubuntu-20-04

I was using MythTV version XX in my old setup (Ubuntu 14.04) and I was able to use

$ /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --filename mythconverg-1317-20210326095006.sql.gz

to transfer my database, including settings, to MythTV 31 (Ubuntu 20.04)
