** Description changed: Binary package hint: lcdproc - Hi, + Hi, I have an L.I.S. MCE 2005 VFD device. This device goes over a serial-to-usb convert and requires the "lis" driver that is currently not packaged with Ubuntu. Please note that this driver requires the "libftdi-dev" package (ftdi.h) be installed in order to build successfully. Thanks, -G - For others in the same boat who don't want to wait for a fix, here is the procedure to roll your own interim package: - sudo aptitude purge brltty # supposedly required to free up /dev/ttyUSB0 on Ubuntu?? - sudo apt-get build-dep lcdproc - sudo aptitude install libftdi-dev # lis won't build without ftdi.h + For others in the same boat who don't want to wait for a fix, here is + the procedure to roll your own interim package: - LPV=0.5.2 - NV=${LPV}-ubuntu-cvs`date +%Y%m%d` - wget http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/nightly/lcdproc-CVS-current.tar.gz # get CVS snapshot - wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lcdproc/lcdproc_${LPV}-0ubuntu1.diff.gz - - tar -zxvf lcdproc-CVS-current.tar.gz - ln -s lcdproc-CVS-current-`date +%Y%m%d` lcdproc-${LPV} - - zcat lcdproc_${LPV}-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0 - rm lcdproc_${LPV}*.deb - cd lcdproc-${LPV} - - # prevent Ubuntu from overwriting my package by adding a change log entry to bump the package version - sudo cat <<EOF > debian/changelog.new - lcdproc (${NV}) gutsy; urgency=low - - * LIS MCE 2005 driver - - -- Garth Dahlstrom <ironst...@users.sf.net> $(date +"%a, %d %b %Y %T - %z") - - EOF - sudo cat debian/changelog >> debian/changelog.new - sudo mv debian/changelog.new debian/changelog - - sudo chmod +x debian/rules - sudo debian/rules - sudo debian/rules binary - - sudo dpkg -i ../lcdproc_${NV}*.deb # Answer Y to replace /etc/LCDd.conf, so you get the [lis] block - sudo nano /etc/LCDd.conf # change Driver=curses to Driver=lis - sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd restart + *** refer to shell script "Script to build LCD Proc from CVS using + Ubuntu diff to support LIS LCDs " attached to comment #2 below ***
