I purchased the Anyware/Mediagate GP-IR02BK USB MCE remote / receiver after reading on several sites that it works just fine in linux.

I have never used LIRC before so I went to the arch wiki and followed the instructions step by step.
I installed both lirc and lirc-utils

I then ran: "setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none" followed by "modprobe lirc_mceusb2" (both as root)

Then I ran: "lircd" as root and got this:
lircd: WARNING: you should specify a valid gap value

I continued and ran irw both as a normal user and as root, but when I mashed buttons on my remote there is no terminal output. That being said I believe the remote / receiver are talking to each other because whenever I push a button on the remote a light blinks on the receiver.

I decided to check to make sure Arch saw the receiver. I ran lsusb and got this:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1784:0008 TopSeed Technology Corp.

This entry did not appear when I unplugged the receiver and ran the same command so I concluded this was my receiver.

If it wasn't clear I run arch linux if that matters.

Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

edIT: nvm, figured it out.

If you figured it out, what was the solution? That'd help other members if they end up having the same problem

$ sudo cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

(NB. lirc_mceusb2 is no more)

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/lircd start
