Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lcdproc
Arch: Only reproduced on X86-64 so far, there is at least one other
reported instance of this on the Ubuntu forums
Ubuntu Edgy with lcdproc 0.5.0-1 (i.e most current package), same
configuration worked on previous Dapper release on the same hardware.
Loading LCDd either manually or via the boot script with the hd44780
driver enabled in LCDd.conf will result in LCDd segfaulting immediately.
The same instance of the package will load and function with the curses
driver loaded as an alternative to test the configuration.
In order to reproduce there is no requirement to actually have an
hd44780 LCD attached as the segfault will occur even without the display
attached.
To reproduce simply enable the driver in LCDd.conf with
Driver=hd44780
and attempt to start LCDd in foreground mode
LCDd -f -c /etc/LCDd.conf
Given that hd44780 is probably one of the more common USB attached LCD
modules I am making the assumption that this bug is specific to the
AMD64 architecture as otherwise I think there would be more mention or
it on the Ubuntu forums and most likely a bug already submitted.
** Affects: lcdproc (Ubuntu)
