Hi all,

I trie to compile the LCDproc server and client for Bering 1.2.
When I ran compile on the Debian_slink image it runs with out any errors.
I also created a .lrp package wich loads OK on my bootdisk.

The problem now is, When LCDd is started it only shows unreadable characters
on the Matrix Orbital display. The hardware setup and configuration is ok.

What mistake did I made ? How can I fix it ?

How do you know that "The hardware setup and configuration is ok"?


Given these facts, my first guess would be that the serial port is set for the wrong speed. MO displays (at least the one I have) are set for 19200 bps as shipped, but can be jumpered to take many different bps rates. Weird characters are the common symptom of mismatched baud rates.

I'm not running LCDproc here, but my notes for it say it requires ncurses5. So the next thing I'd suggest checking is that you have a compatible ncurses library (either on the LEAF router or, if you did a static compile, in your compile environment).

Last thing I'd check is that you have the right flavor of serial cable. I believe the MO is DCE, so you want a straight-through cable, not a modem-eliminator cable.

That's all I can think of without more in the way of configuration details.
