lcdproc on Kodibuntu issues - PLEASE HELP!! - wan.7 - 2015-05-19
Hey Guys,
Usually when I have a problem I find that someone else has the some problem and it has already been addressed but I can not find a solution for my issue.
I am running the latest version of Kodibuntu on a HTPC in a Silverstone LC16M case with an imon VFD display (the 2X16 display).
Simply - I can not get it to work with Kodibuntu.
Firstly, I can get it to run just fine when running Ubuntu but Kodibuntu is no good.
I have installed lcdproc using apt-get and have configured my /etc/LCDd.conf file to work with my specific VFD but it simply doesn't run.
Here is where I think the problem lies, when I run ps -A there is no LCDd program running and I can't seem to GET it running.
My desktop ubuntu works fine, and I've set up Ubuntu on my HTPC and the VFD works great and I can get it to do everything I want. Just won't work on Kodibuntu.
Is there missing packages or something that need to be installed in Kodibuntu to get lcdproc (or LCDd) to work correctly?
I'm a bit of a Linux noob (and a noob here) so please be patient with me.
Thanks heaps in advance to anyone who has any great ideas!!
Matt
