It seems that bash version 2 and higher have a bug in it, which caused previous versions of the ledcontrol startup script to lock up. From version 0.5.0 up this is checked automatically and the most adequate shell available is used. You can apt-get it or fetch it here . Ledcontrol requires GLIB version 1.2.0 or higher.
