Unable to disable lirc

Hi,

I've struggling to reliably disable LIRC. There is no config option in libreelect settings, and when I remove ~/.config/lircd.conf it comes back after a second reboot. I've also tried doing systemctl disable --now lircd.service lircd-uinput.service lircd.socket but it also comes back after a reboot.

What is the right way of disabling LIRC here?

Thanks

After you disable the service, mask it, e.g. "systemctl disable lircd.service && systemctl mask lircd.service"

Perfect that worked. to set tIs it possiblehe remote up so that it is able to switch the pi4 on?

RPi4 cannot be switched on through a remote unless you add an IR/Power HAT. In this arrangement the HAT board is externally powered so the (always on) IR sensor can toggle 5V power to the board through the GPIO pins not the normal USB-C connector.
