      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 :(

        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:

          [server]
          DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
          Driver=hd44780
          Bind=127.0.0.1

          GoodBye="Thanks for using"
          GoodBye=" pfSense "
          WaitTime=5

          UpKey=Up
          DownKey=Down
          [hd44780]
          driverpath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
          ConnectionType=ezio
          Device=/dev/cuau1
          Keypad=yes
          Size=16x2
          KeyMatrix_4_1=Enter
          KeyMatrix_4_2=Up

            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?
