Hello,
I have here a hardware "Ibase IV" powered by Astaro.
But it had an old version of the security gateway software.
The Support department of Astaro advice me to update my version of the software.
With an IDE cdrom drive - I installed the new software version - clean software install
There was no update/upgrade to the new version.
Before the installation of the new version the LCD was showing status of the Hard drive - Network - performance. With the buttons I was enable to reset the Astaro Security Gateway to Factory settings or restart the device or shutdown the device etc...
My "Ibase IV" has four buttons with a LCD display on the front.
After the installation of the new version the LCD is blank (blacklight is on)
How do I get the LCD to work ?
I know that the Astaro software has a software program installed called LCD4Linux.
(LCD4Linux)
On the old version of the Astaro Security Gateway it was the same software.
And the LCD was configured using the pasport0 ( =Parallel Port )
I copy the old version of the config file to the new version and try it to start it up.
Error:
loginuser@Gateway:/sbin > sudo ./lcd4linux -Fvv
Version 0.10.0-RC1 starting

HD44780: open(/dev/parport0) failed: No such file or directory
HD44780: could not initialize parallel port!
HD44780: start display failed!
So I try to get it to work. But I need an parport0.
Does anyone know how to set it up.
( And maybe how to get the serial port also at the front to work, That's my next project ;-) )
Many thanks for our response.
