      2- Copy package related files from 2.2.6 install
        lcdproc.inc -> /usr/local/pkg
        lcdproc.xml -> /usr/local/pkg
        lcdproc_client.php -> /usr/local/pkg
        lcdproc_screens.xml -> /usr/local/pkg

      lcdproc.sh -> /usr/local/etc/rc.d

      Another sad LCDProc user; trying to follow timotl's instruction but I don't find /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lcdproc.sh on my WatchGuard Firebox X750e after the upgrade. What am I missing (apart from that file, of course :))?

      Any help? Or can anyone post that file please?

        Do you use the Shellcmd and WGXexpc packages ?
        I can provide you the right files , but i have a configfile which included the settings for these 2 packages also.

          This is the method that i use for LCDproc to work on a Watchguard x550e , x750e and x1250e
          after a CLEAN install of pfSense.

          1 ) Download and install WinSCP (we need this at the end)  :
          https://winscp.net/download/WinSCP-5.9-Setup.exe

          2 ) Download and extract the zip with the LCDproc files from the attachment of this reply

          3 ) Login with the Web UI in your Watchguard device and go to :
          Diagnostics -> command prompt

          4 ) Install the package Freetype by copypaste this line :
          pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release_3/All/freetype2-2.6.2.txz
          Click execute and wait a few seconds

          5 ) Install the package LCDproc by copypaste this line :
          pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release_3/All/lcdproc-0.5.7_2.txz
          Click execute and wait till it complets (less then a minute)

          6 ) Enable Secure Shell by going to Web UI :
          System -> Advanced and enable "Secure Shell Server" and save

          7 ) Start WinSCP and use these settings :
          Fileprotocol :SFTP
          IP-adress: 192.168.1.1 (IP of your Watchguard)
          Port : 22
          Username : root
          Password : pfsense

          pfsense is the default password, change this by your password if different

          8 ) In WinSCP you have on your left side a colum with the contents of your local pc filesystem,
          and on the right the pfSense filesystem.
          Browse on the left to the folder you previously downloaded,
          and copy these files by drag and drop :
          lcdproc.inc -> /usr/local/pkg/
          lcdproc.xml -> /usr/local/pkg/
          lcdproc_client.php -> /usr/local/pkg/
          lcdproc_screens.xml -> /usr/local/pkg/
          lcdproc.sh -> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lcdproc.sh

          1. In the Web UI go to diagnostics -> Backup & Restore
            and select "Packagemanager under Restore Area.
            Browse to the file installedpackages.xml from the zip you downloaded.

          2. Reboot your Watchguard

          If your LCD screen is not show any information,then go to :
          Services -> LCDproc
          And unselect "enable LCDproc" and save.
          Select "enable LCDproc" and save.
          After this, go to Status -> Services
          and restart the LCDproc by clicking halfround circle icon
          LCDproc shall now be working.

          The zip contains the files Timotl provides in this reply -> https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=44034.msg609820#msg609820
          and i added my installedpackages.xml config file to it instead of the instructions on modifying your config file.
          In this installedpackages.xml config file there also the settings for Shellcmd and WGXepc packages.

          Good luck ;-)

            Is anyone attempting to convert the LCDProc package to 2.3?

                Under services, if Shellcmd is installed, then its showing under services.

                  I think I was wrong then. I don't see Shellcmd under Services menu.

                    You can make a backup of your entire config,
                    and try my tutorial.

                        I's so confused LOL
                        Also the package now shows up under services but yet is missing under the installed packages tab.

                        It is not an official pfSense package and will not show up in "installed packages" section of pfSense. Therefore you can't remove/install in in pfSense GUI. It is a freeBSD package, part of the process performed using the steps above was to rig pfSense's GUI to show LCDproc_dev, using xml codes from 2.2.6. Hope this help clear up some confusion.

                              ok thanks to several of you guys i was able to get the lcd proc server into my pfsense.

                              however im not sure as to what settings i should apply for use in a astaro 220

                              ive searched the net and found conflicting information and after several hours of trial and error i have not got it to work.

                              any suggestions?
                              im running pfsense 2.3.2 i386

                              so just a update i got it to work with the watchguard driver  on parallel port 1 2 rowes 20 columns 8bit wiring lcdtime port speed default

                              now i just cant get the backlight to stay on any ideas?

                                Hi,
                                I'm trying to get it to works a S1602b lcd panel on a gteprotect box. I just installed the latest lcdprc package and i don't get it to work.
                                Looking around i found that this panel uses the hd47780 driver, but I need some assistance on how to identify the port it is using.

                                On services the lcddriver service is running, but, I still get an error "lcdproc: Start client procedure. Error counter: (0)"

                                Any help will be much appreciated….

                                    Thank You!! DeLorean & Timotl  I got this working on my x550e
                                    I had this working under 2.2. Since I upgrade to 2.3.1 this had stopped working.
                                    Thankfully the shell scripts were still there, but the pkg files were missing from /usr/local/pkg/
                                    I was able to restart the lcdproc service from the console with the command "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lcdproc.sh start" so no reboot needed.
                                    I changed the config from the files to match the recommended settings on this pic. http://postimg.org/image/irdoobhn9/ from another LCDproc on firebox thread.

                                      Is there not an easier way to install this, or have it added to the Package Manager as I am not really a Linux guy.

                                      Thanks,

                                      @DeLorean:

                                      This is the method that i use for LCDproc to work on a Watchguard x550e , x750e and x1250e
                                      after a CLEAN install of pfSense.

                                      1 ) Download and install WinSCP (we need this at the end)  :
                                      https://winscp.net/download/WinSCP-5.9-Setup.exe

                                      2 ) Download and extract the zip with the LCDproc files from the attachment of this reply

                                      3 ) Login with the Web UI in your Watchguard device and go to :
                                      Diagnostics -> command prompt

                                      4 ) Install the package Freetype by copypaste this line :
                                      pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release_3/All/freetype2-2.6.2.txz
                                      Click execute and wait a few seconds

                                      5 ) Install the package LCDproc by copypaste this line :
                                      pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release_3/All/lcdproc-0.5.7_2.txz
                                      Click execute and wait till it complets (less then a minute)

                                      6 ) Enable Secure Shell by going to Web UI :
                                      System -> Advanced and enable "Secure Shell Server" and save

                                      7 ) Start WinSCP and use these settings :
                                      Fileprotocol :SFTP
                                      IP-adress: 192.168.1.1 (IP of your Watchguard)
                                      Port : 22
                                      Username : root
                                      Password : pfsense

                                      pfsense is the default password, change this by your password if different

                                      8 ) In WinSCP you have on your left side a colum with the contents of your local pc filesystem,
                                      and on the right the pfSense filesystem.
                                      Browse on the left to the folder you previously downloaded,
                                      and copy these files by drag and drop :
                                      lcdproc.inc -> /usr/local/pkg/
                                      lcdproc.xml -> /usr/local/pkg/
                                      lcdproc_client.php -> /usr/local/pkg/
                                      lcdproc_screens.xml -> /usr/local/pkg/
                                      lcdproc.sh -> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lcdproc.sh

                                      1. In the Web UI go to diagnostics -> Backup & Restore
                                        and select "Packagemanager under Restore Area.
                                        Browse to the file installedpackages.xml from the zip you downloaded.

                                      2. Reboot your Watchguard

                                      If your LCD screen is not show any information,then go to :
                                      Services -> LCDproc
                                      And unselect "enable LCDproc" and save.
                                      Select "enable LCDproc" and save.
                                      After this, go to Status -> Services
                                      and restart the LCDproc by clicking halfround circle icon
                                      LCDproc shall now be working.

                                      The zip contains the files Timotl provides in this reply -> https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=44034.msg609820#msg609820
                                      and i added my installedpackages.xml config file to it instead of the instructions on modifying your config file.
                                      In this installedpackages.xml config file there also the settings for Shellcmd and WGXepc packages.

                                      Good luck ;-)

                                        The easier way is to upgrade your pfSense to 2.3.3 snapshots and install the package from the Package Manager.

                                          I upgraded to 2.3.3 snaphot enabled LCDPro after installing it. However it's showing X in the Status / Services. When I try to start it, it fails.

                                          I am supposed to change any of the configuration settings before I enable/start it?

                                          Thanks,

                                          I have a WatchGuard XTM 510

                                            This package absolutely requires proper hardware-dependent configuration, without it, it's just completely useless.
