I have installed LCDproc 0.5.7 on FreeBSD 8; LCDproc will run and log that it timed out connecting to LCDd, but LCDd won't run and nothing gets printed to the log.
Even if I run LCDd with "-s 0" and/or "-f" it immediately returns to the prompt with not a single log line printed. I even tried with "-r 5".
Any idea why I wouldn't be getting any logging? It is impossible to diagnose why it won't start when I'm getting no hints from it.
Regards,
Anthony

With regard to the mail you sent me on 2014/07/15 I guess you solved that. But here are some tips for others.
On FreeBSD, if LCDproc is installed from the port or package no default config is installed. I should implement a more clever installation/deinstallation routine, but for now you need to copy the example /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf.sample to /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf.
Otherwise LCDd does not find a valid configuration file and will immediately quit. If you run 'LCDd -f' you should see a note stating that, at least.
You can instruct LCDd to use that sample config file anyway:
