LCD2USB on HPN40L microserver with OMV

Hi,

yesterday I made my first OMV installation and it worked fine so far.

I am using an old HP Microserver HPN40L where I had a VMWARE ESXI platform running on before.

My old installation was able to send info to my 4x20 display LCD2USB display via Windows Client and Smartie.

I am wondering now if I can make this work again in OMV and if yes, how?

The server is built in my server rack and I want the display to show some info.

Call it geek or nerd stuff but I like it

Is there someone who has done this before and can maybe guide me through the process?

Kind regards

I have installed this already and it works but it does not install lcd2usb drivers.

The LCD display is not part of the HP server, its a 3rd party product so above drivers do not work.

Anyone else an idea how I get the display working?

I have installed LCD4LINUX in the meanwhile and started configuring.

Started? Yes I am not sure which driver fits to my LCD so I commented all in the config where I am 100% sure they are wrong.

So how do I find which is the right driver and how can I start my LCD showing something.

Atm the backlight is on and its showing "LCD2USB...." but nothing that is generated by the NAS.

It does the same when I only connect power so hey..... I am at the very beginning haha

On Win10 it was simple. I have installed Smartie and the lcd2usb driver and could config the LCD in a nice GUI.

Well I am on linux and I have to get used to text file configuration I guess. Atm. I have not really an idea how to start or to find out why it is not working and whats needed to make it work.

I hope someone here can give a helping hand?

Hi, is there anyone who has experience with lcd4usb? I am sure most of you have at least more knowledge about linux than I have to sort things out.

Please help
