Description
I installed a box with no remote. When I plugged in my Streamzap remote and went into Service Menu -> LinHES Configuration -> Remotes, I chose Streamzap for remote and receiver type. The remote did not start working (IR signal was verified). I restarted MythTV, and it still didn't begin to work. I found that the lirc package was not installed. After installing it, restarting MythTV did nothing. I even tried rebooting. Finally, I verified that no lircd.conf was written.

Bob, please retest with w/ 6.00.09 ISO or after updating w/ pacman -Syu.

Tried 'pacman -Syu' and restarted MythTV. Still no remote joy. No /etc/lircd.conf is written, and lircd won't start because /etc/lircd.conf is missing. I even tried selecting a different remote and receiver (in case the MythVantage detected that I hadn't made any changes in my selections) but no lircd.conf is written.

check that the user mythtv cat write to /etc/systemconfig. This was fixed for new installs but not for existing systems.

The problem was as you suspected: /etc/systemconfig permissions. Closing ticket, with the assumption that fresh installs have no such issues.
