Gnome users can control infrared devices with ease using gnome-lirc-properties package. The package integrates Lirc, a widely popular infrared remote control software, with Gnome properties.
If you're in need of infrared remote control configuration, gnome-lirc-properties package offers Gnome properties for Lirc, the IR remote control software. This package presents a small application functionally similar to a GNOME control-panel, which allows you to configure Lirc for remote control and verify your configuration. The program relies on GTK+ and uses Python via PyGtk. To tackle administrative duties, you will require a working PolicyKit authentication agent such as the one offered by PolicyKit-gnome.
