LCDProc 0.5.4-dev
-
Hmm, more complex than I thought then. Perhaps it requires the correct rc file, clearly it needs that for the service restart button onn the Status: Services: page. I don't know, I'm just guessing now. ::)
You should probably ask this as a new question in the packages section.Steve

Would it be possible to add 38400 bps as an option for the port speed?
Take a look at: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=90569.msg515874#msg515874 for the changes I had to make to get nMedia lcd working.Thanks,

For my 64 bit 2.2.2 and the latest lcdproc I have to modify the lcdproc.inc file where is says "localhost' to "127.0.0.1" for mine to start up. I fixed this package in past but no time to fix this time around. I need to figure github out more.
file for my system is in /usr/local/pkg
need file already fixed I can upload mine

Nice. Thanks for that Topper. :)
-
No problem. Docknotor if I spelled right also got the one going also with same patch I did. So he deserves some of thanks also :)
-
I'm actually seriously confused how the patch helps. The define is not used anywhere.

The binding to localhost issue?
Ah, you mean LCDPROC_HOST is not used?
-
Yeah, exactly… :D
-
It was told me in Github that it does not bind right.

Merged, thanks! The reason that ends up failing is lcdproc doesn't bind to IPv6, and localhost will return as ::1 in that case. -
Anyone know what it would take to get this into 2.3??
-
If they do not have support for it in 2.3 I don't think I want to upgrade then.. But I have been keeping it going for bit now. Maybe I will be able to do something when 2.3 comes out.

I have to fix my display since I moved and broke the usb port on it. I can fix it. once I do I will see what I can do to fix it.
Not really sure I need a bounty.. but donation for it is great.. always helpful .. If you wanted I mean. -
I'm itching to try out 2.3, but LCDproc is my favorite package. I think I'll wait a bit too see what happens.
-
I will see what I can do. It is also one or my.favorite packages. I fixed it many times over the years. Hope this time my skills let me fix this or I will be a sad pfsense user
-
Ill offer you an Amazon gift card if that works as a bribe. ;D
Having the package isn't a deal breaker for me but I did like it being there.

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but only recently made an account.
I hope it will help others out there, as this info took me a while to find in this thread, plus some experimenting of my own.
If the link breaks in the future, here are the relevant settings:
My LCD screen is U204RF-A2 from lcdmodkit.com
The COM port depends on your setup, so look at your logs to see which port it is connected to.
Display Size: 4 rows 20 Columns
Driver: hd44780
Connection Type: Till Harbaum's LCD2USB
Brightness: 20% (looks the best on my screen, results may vary)
The other settings don't really apply.

Trooper I too am willing to help in terms of money to get this package running. I'm pretty disappointed that it is not working. Hopefully the drivers are compatible with the version of FreeBSD that is currently being used. I don't have enough BSD or PhP skills to be of much help but I will try to see what I can do as well. I guess my first step is to make sure that my screen is running on 2.6.

I got part coming to fix my lcd and then will try get it going. Will keep you guys in loop as to what I find
