Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lcdproc
My iMon VFD stopped working when I updated to Ubuntu 8.04. I am running AMD64 version of 8.04. On 7.10 the VFD worked OK. The IR part of iMON is working fine with 8.04. Just the VFD is "dead". The LCDd is starts OK. On my LCDd.conf I have Driver=imon There is also /dev/lcd0 successfully created: crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 144 2008-05-01 20:04 /dev/lcd0 On/var/logsyslog I get following message when I start LCDd: May 2 11:31:23 htpc-serveri kernel: [29830.532317] /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/build/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c: VFD port opened So everything should be fine... But as soon as I start the LCDd, following starts to show up in dmesg [30722.563641] /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/build/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c: lcd_write: invalid payload size: 32 (expecting 8) If I try to echo something to /dev/lcd0 I just get an error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ echo terve > /dev/lcd0 bash: /dev/lcd0: Device or resource busy There is a modification in lirc iMON driver made after 7.10. There is the same error message mentioned in the source code, so could it be that something broke because of the change?? http://patches.ubuntu.com/l/lirc/ext...ad2keys.dpatch I have following packages installed: lcdproc 0.5.2-0ubuntu2 lirc 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7 ** Affects: lcdproc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- iMon VFD does not work in 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
