I have the same issue on shutdown but also a random xbmc freeze on startup due to lcd proc (if i stop via /etc/init.d/ LCDd xbmc goes on). I'm on precise so i have K60 and S60.
I tried the above suggested, startup issue seem to be ok now, i will let you know if it also fix well both problems.

Can you tell me what exactly you have done to fix that issue?
I am still having freezes on when I shutdown XBMC via remote control, everything runs fine via SSH though.

Thanks

Hi!

It seems I finally fixed the LCD issue which means my XBMC shuts down properly and LCD is off completely(no background light anymore)

Since I am very busy at the moment I could test it just twice but in both cases it worked Smile

So this is what I did:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd stop

echo -n "" > /etc/lcd0

Your Display should be dark now. If you get a permission denied do

Code:

sudo chmod og+w /dev/lcd0

and try again.

Now I just added

Code:

echo -n "" > /etc/lcd0

into the stop section of /etc/init.d/LCDd and everything works as expected.

I hope this will help

good luck Wink
