Hello all, I'm new to linuxliteos but not to linux generally ,I have this crappy Hp pavilion with this remote controller and I couldn't set it up to work under windows,apparently Hp  loves to charge for support and none of drivers didn't work for me.
I was wondering is there a way to use it on linuxlite (tried lirc but there is no config file for this model of remote).

What's the exact make and model of your HP?
According to serial number (RN070EA#UUZ)it is HP Pavilion dv2115ea and year is 2006.
Thank you for the LinuxLiteOs , it was hard to find distro to work with my overheating crap. Wink
I researched this machine a little and it appears the remote for it should be the: HP 435743-001 - HP mobile remote II Plus remote control

If that could be confirmed it would probably help.
Sorry for the delay, yes that's correct ,this is hp page with user guides http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Remo...el/1827587
