>Description:
The LCDd.sh.sample start script from the LCDproc-0.4.3_2 ports
starts the LCDd process that's also part of the port in the
foreground, thereby blocking the system startup.
This may be a driver issue. It happens with both the
"curses" driver, where it could be intentional (output to
the controlling tty should probably continue uninterrupted),
and the "lcdm001" driver, which could be a bug in the driver.
I don't have any other output devices to test with.
>How-To-Repeat:
- install ports/sysutils/lcdproc-0.4.3_2
- copy /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf.sample to LCDd.conf
- configure /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf to your liking
- copy /usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh.sample to LCDd.sh
- run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh
The script waits for termination of the LCDd process.
>Fix:
Add a '&' character at the end of the fifth line of
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh.sample .
If this is indeed an issue with the "lcdm001" driver,
this change breaks the intended behaviour of the
"curses" driver.
