LCDProc 0.5.4-dev

So let me get this straight, x-core = x500,x700,etc and x-core-e = x550e,7750e,etc (basically ones ending in "…50e" correct?

Stephew10 is the expert on the various models, but reportedly all models in a product line have the same hardware, and the number indicates a (watchguard) software feature level. As of now, the test driver has support for the LEDs on all x-<whatever>-e models. I have tested it on a x750e. Basically, all models with a ICH6 Southbridge are coded in at the moment.</whatever>

There are three different hardware types that use the SDEC LCD.
The X-Core: X500, X700, X1000 and X2500.
The X-Peak: X5000, X6000 and X8000.
The X-Core-e: X550e: X550e, X750e and X1250e. And the X-Peak-e: X5500e, X6500e and X8500e.
The X-Core-e and X-Peak-e are effectively the same hardware.Also there are some variants based on these such as the ssl-100 and ssl-core but these are far more rare.

OK some interesting things to report.
I did a clean install of v0.8 of the package on my X-Peak and less than 24Hrs later noticed the webgui became unavailable. As before it came back again but left no trace in the logs. However this evening I happened to be connected to the box via ssh when is happened so I could poke around a bit.I think this explains why I couldn't connect to the webgui or login.
last pid: 56372; load averages: 4.89, 3.27, 3.44 up 2+20:13:22 20:02:54 111 processes: 10 running, 84 sleeping, 1 zombie, 16 waiting CPU: 24.0% user, 0.0% nice, 75.7% system, 0.4% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 55M Active, 16M Inact, 56M Wired, 1036K Cache, 59M Buf, 357M Free Swap: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 50705 nobody 74 r30 3368K 1548K RUN 27.9H 100.00% LCDdYes LCDd using 100% CPU. ::)
At that point I didn't want to kill LCDd because I knew that would cause lcdproc_client.php to fill the logs with errors and I was hoping the logs might contain clues. So I thought I would kill lcdclient.sh first:
[2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/root(22): ps aux | grep lcd root 51028 0.0 0.3 3656 1508 ?? R Mon07PM 0:00.00 /bin/sh /tmp/lcdclient.sh root 51368 0.0 3.4 47452 17472 ??

Eventually I did kill LCDd and everything else died with it.
The system logs show nothing unusual.
For me the package is not stable on the X-Peak but I don't know if it's a driver problem or a bug in LCDd.
Hmmm… :-\Steve

Hi Steve,
I was thinking about you and your LCDproc problem this evening (no, I don't think it's awkward)…I am afraid it could be a problem on the driver or the combination between your panel and the driver... can you send me your lcdproc.conf file?
Thanks,
Michele -
I have multiple X-Peak units (x550e, x750e) if you all have a specific tests you want me to run.
-
OK some interesting things to report.
So this is on X-Peak only, Version 0.5.5 only, and with the "old" 0.5.4 driver?
Can you give it a shot with the 0.5.5 driver? https://github.com/downloads/fmertz/sdeclcd/sdeclcd.so
Was it working ok on 0.5.4?
-
@ Brak The X-Peak is X6000 etc see list above. ;)
@ mdima The lcd in the X-Peak is identical to the X-Core but the parallel port hardware is different.
@fmertz That's using the v0.8 package downloaded via the package manager. I thought that had the 0.55 driver version already? It is 14395 bytes in size.
So today I bootup my X-e box to test some stuff and check out this nightmare boot log:

Feel free to check the V0.5.5 file at the link mentioned above. But first, I would definitely cleanup the boot area. Have you checked /etc/rc.d/? Might have more than one instance of several scripts.

fmertz, maybe it's the case to ask to the development team to update the files under files.pfsense.org? You do or I do?
Is it stable the V0.5.5 driver for SDEC?Thanks,
Michele -
I have the following problem: everytime I am disconnecting a device from an ethernet port the LCDProc is stopping.
-
I have a feeling that's because every time pfSense detects an IP change on an interface it restarts all the packages.
I think it may be caused by trying to start a new instance of LCDd before the old one has been killed. LCDd then cannot open local port 13366 and quits leaving lcdclient.sh running and spamming the logs. In the worst case this happens several times with the result that several instances of lcdclient are running.
Perhaps this is caused by the sleep delay in between the kill statements? Perhaps it should kill LCDd first? :-\In my opinion lcdclient.sh needs to quit after, say 3, tries if lcdproc_client.php cannot connect to LCDd. Is that what Seth had in mind when he setup the counter variable in lcdclient?
What do you think?

Hi Steve,
yes, I agree… I will do this improvement in the next update of the package...Michele

I tried this LCDProc 0.5.4-dev and all it does is flash a few screens real fast then it says "Thank you for using pfSense" and sits on that screen forever… :O
-
Could you show us your system logs?
I suspect you are seeing the same as me. Is that on your X-Core box?Steve

Hi m4f,
Did you set all the new properties in the service configuration?
Can you tell me what values did you enter?Thanks,
Michele -
Steve: Yes, it's on the X500 (I also have an X700 but they are the same hardware)
Hrm! I had uninstalled it, when I installed it again it installed 0.5.5 v 0.8 :O
Here are my settings:
Under Server tab:
Enable LCDProc: checked
Com Port: Parallel port 1 (/dev/lpt0)
Display Size: 2 rows 20 columns
Driver: Watchguard Firebox with SDEC (x86 only)
Refresh frequency: 5 seconds
The rest are set Default and the LED option is disabledUnder Screens tab I have enabled:
Version, Time, Uptime, System, Disk, Load, States,
Load Balancer, Interfaces, CPU Freq and Internet Traffic -
I get these on boot, but after it boots my LCD works with this newer version.

I'm running the Time and Uptime screens. Both boxes.
