How long does it usually take to upgrade + lcdproc doesn't work
-
Ehm, okay.
At least I now know what I did wrong…
Didn't knew that :PLiveCD? I just took the image from the nanobsd folder, used those to put pfsense on a CF-card with physdiskwrite.
Offtopic: Just installed LCDProc with the packet manager. That went okay. But, not getting output on the display.
It's a PicoLCD find in some Mini-Box cases, mine is the M300-LCD.Driver is set to picolcd, LCDProc is enabled, enabled some of the screens on the Screens page and I tried all available com-ports, nothing.
Still see the standard text Mini-Box put in the controller of the display.edit: see this in the log:

Does anyone know why lcdproc ain't working?
-
picolcd doesn't work, never has.
-
Then why is picolcd an option in the lcdproc settings?
Well, in January an admin posted that he/she would make it work, guess not…

Already contacted him/her through PM, no answer. -
Ermal is not working on it.
-
Then who is?
Ermal said he would….
-
No one is.
-
Then why did ermal said he was?
Or does the word of an admin means completely nothing here… -
He was at the time, the work wasn't finished because the company that was going to fund it cancelled the project. Our developers do things either because they're getting paid by someone to do it, or they have a personal interest in doing it. The former fell through in this case, and the latter wasn't applicable.

When I initially wrote the package I added a large part of the lcdproc drivers list to the drop down, which means that they are not all usable.
The pyramid driver is the one I originally wrote the lcdproc package for and that one works well. I see it on my desk everyday.
If somebody offered me money to do the rest I might consider.
