LCDProc 0.5.4-dev
-
You re-installed lcdproc with the changed file?

No, but I ran some other tests which I think mean it doesn't just check ps output.
I wrote a shellscript that just sleeps for a while and called it LCDd.
Obviously if I do ps | grep LCDd it returns a non empty result.
Yet the service appears to be stopped while the script is running.
Does it have to literally match the executable string or can I just use a part of it?
So does it have to be "/usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/pkg/lcdproc_client.php" as appears in lcdproc.inc where the client is launched? -
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.
