I am surprised that no one has confirmed this bug. To me this is a critical bug for those who use the Lcdproc package.
I just wanted to mention that his patch to LCDd works, I was pulling my hair out trying to find a work around. For me i would start LCDd with the -d option using my lcd driver. Then I would try to attach lcdproc to it, but it would fail, at least I know that it is a problem with lcdproc. In fact I will be filing another bug report to lcdproc as it still fails, I am using AMD64. I have to restart LCDd a few times before lcdproc shows up, and doesn't fail. -- Errors in both /etc/init.d/LCDd script and /etc/LCDd.conf that break lcdproc https://launchpad.net/bugs/63488 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
