      That sounds more like it is missing a driver than something nanobsd-specific. I'd wait to hear back from ermal or someone else working on the lcdproc package.

        If the driver is missing, how can I check if it is that?
        (Note, have some basic commandline skills, if necessary.)

        Already done that, ermal has been online here couple of times since I've send the message, no response, don't even know if it arrived.
        Don't think there is anyone (else) working on the package…

          I'm not familiar with the lcdproc package, so I can't say for certain.

            'kay.

            Any idea who can help and actually replies to private messages?
            Already tried (besides ermal) a (different) admin, to ask who is working on the package, but also no answer back.

              Most people on this forum prefer to keep things in the public forums, and are turned off by PMs.

              You might try the support mailing list, or IRC.

                Not getting any response there either, that's why I tried PM's.

                Uhm, support mailing list?
                edit: found it

                  These 2 not very big packages, but packages nonetheless work fine:

                  • iperf
                  • blinkled

                  Fit123 doesn't work though (seems to expect a RW filesystem):

                  • installs correctly, but switching any of the features on/off have no effect
                  • themes work fine
                  • error when selecting DDNS tab in Fit123: Warning: fopen(/usr/local/pkg/Fit123/ddns/ddns.php): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /usr/local/pkg/fit123.inc on line 164

                  Hardware: 2 carped ALIX 2D3's / pfSense 1.2.3 RC3 and 4GB CF cards.

                    Hello all

                    i use the 1.2. 1G images for testing.
                    Now i see that the full versions and the 4G versions are still beeing updated, but the 1G version is still from 14 Nov
                    both the update and the new to install versions.

                    Are the 1 GB version obsolete?

                    regards,
                    Johan

                      Sylhouette,

                      That is unrelated to this topic, please start a new thread for a different question.

                        @MrHorizontal:

                        Fit123 doesn't work though (seems to expect a RW filesystem):

                        • installs correctly, but switching any of the features on/off have no effect
                        • themes work fine
                        • error when selecting DDNS tab in Fit123: Warning: fopen(/usr/local/pkg/Fit123/ddns/ddns.php): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /usr/local/pkg/fit123.inc on line 164

                        Further to this, it's clear that Fit123 isn't calling /etc/rc.conf_mount_r[w|o] when doing it's thing. I don't use DDNS (and perhaps the error is caused because DDNS is disabled?), and even so by calling /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw before visiting the Fit123 doesn't get rid of the DDNS tab error. However the Fit123 tab works fine - here's a workaround:
                        1: Open 2 tabs both visiting the pfsense box. This is important.
                        2: Install the Fit123 package as normal (System -> Packages)
                        3: Go to Diagnostics -> Command and run /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw and leave it
                        4: In the 2nd tab, go to Status -> Fit 123, select the settings as required and save
                        5: Check that it's applied the settings: System -> General should have 4 DNS server fields, Status -> System should have current time. If not, run /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw in one of the tabs again, and save Fit123 settings again (it took 2 goes for it's magic to work for me for some reason)
                        6: Once settings have been applied to your satisfaction, run /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro in Diagnostics -> Command

                        For some reason even with /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw run and the FS as writeable, the DDNS tab in Fit123 still says the fopen() warning, leading me to believe there are actually 2 bugs here:
                        1. That /etc/rc.conf_mount_r[w|o] needs to be called for it to be properly NanoBSD compatible
                        2. That the DDNS tab has a further bug, which may be due to the actual DDNS service (Services -> Dynamic DNS) being disabled on my pfSense.
