Comment 4 for bug 1901089

Workaround that seems to work:

Running ir-keytable -t as my user gave "permission denied" on /dev/input/event16 and /dev/lirc0. After adding my user to the "input" and "video" groups that own those devices, the remote works correctly. However, I also have to manually load the custom keymap before I login as my user to make it work (sudo ir-keytable -w /etc/rc_keymaps/<custom keymap>.toml). Not sure why that no longer happens automatically during boot or why a kernel change coincides with all these issues. Currently running kernel 5.4.0-58-generic with this workaround.
