EZIO Driver for LCDproc

pulsecity

@stephenw10 yes, reinstalled the package and have done the same just to make sure I am not mad. so no mods this time, same effect. Ie lcdproc server is running but no client connected.

I have mine setup just like yourself image shows, but when I run the LCDproc service is fails. Any ideas?

My SmoothWall uses the CAR-3030.

Thanks,

kiokoman

check system log

try from console to run

/usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf -u nobody

if it starts the next step is to run

/usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/pkg/lcdproc_client.php

report any error

stephenw10

Yeah, check the logs, what errors it it showing?

What exactly do you mean by the service fails?

I still have the issue too. GUI doesn't save config file, if I manually create the config file and ssh to start the services they work. Init name looks wrong to me one in PHP or Inc has .sh and my box didn't or might have been the other way round. Ages since I looked, but as the package was prepared for Dev but released on stable, their might be differences.

i can't reproduce it, if i delete /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf on my 2.4.5-p1 it is created again if i press "save"

I will have another play maybe tonight. And check what happens on mine again. Because my memory is a bit vague

In the version 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 it's built in!!! :-)

Been a long time since I went in the loft, the /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf is never created when pressing save.

System Log says:

Nov 25 12:43:06 php-fpm 56811 lcdproc: Sync: Begin package sync
Nov 25 12:43:06 php-fpm 56811 lcdproc: The selected COM port is not valid!

The same port works fine when I manually create the file and start it with the following, so it's just GUI issues.

/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf -u nobody
/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/bin/lcdproc -c /usr/local/etc/lcdproc.conf
/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/bin/lcdexec -c /usr/local/etc/lcdexec.conf

I've now removed gui package and just edit the conf files manually :(

stephenw10

What com port are you trying to set? Does it exist in /dev?

@stephenw10 /dev/cuau1 yes its in dev and works fine with the config manually created and the commands run, so now I have the following in shellcmd:

/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf -u nobody
/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/bin/lcdproc -c /usr/local/etc/lcdproc.conf

/usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf looks like:

Can we see a screenshot of the exact settings you're trying to enter in the package?

Is it possible your browser is auto-filling hidden fields?
