have noticed that syslog is spammed with the following lines every second:
Mar 15 06:25:03 localhost lircd[3172]: lircd-0.10.0[3172]: Error: Cannot glob /sys/class/rc/rc0/input[0-9]/event[0-9]
Mar 15 06:25:03 localhost lircd-0.10.0[3172]: Error: Cannot glob /sys/class/rc/rc0/input[0-9]/event[0-9]
sudo apt remove lirc helped me out (I do not need any IR remote).
