Re: GPS not Connecting
I wonder if anybody can explain this inconsistent behaviour: it's a complete mystery to me
BTW I have this working well on my eeePC901 netbook using MX15 with the U-blox7 dongle

Re: GPS not Connecting
Hello everyone,
I got a similar issue. I just installed gpsd and gpsd-clients on MX18.1, but after reboot I 'see' my PL2303-base GPS dongle partially
lsusb > Bus 001 Device 006: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
xgps > (window pops up, no data shows up)
gpspipe -r > (nothing happening too)
gpsmon /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0 4800 8N1 NMEA0183 (everything looks OK, fix OK, NMEA sentences scrolling down, I knew my GPS is alive!)
same thing when using LiveCD
after reading gpsd troubleshooting section I end up with this
"If gpsmon(1) reports no data at all, you may have the device path wrong; check that using dmesg(8) or by whatever means you have available. If you have the right device, you may have some low-level system problem with serial or USB that you'll need to fix before gpsd will operate. Check your cabling, power, and kernel configuration."
Any help how to go on?
Thank you

Re: GPS not Connecting
After a bit search I confirmed that gpsd is running as
this is the reason probably why I also get this
still confused how to work around...
Code: Select all
gpsd -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /run/gpsd/gpsd.sock
Code: Select all
gpsd -N /dev/ttyUSB0
gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv4 port gpsd, Address already in use
gpsd:ERROR: maybe gpsd is already running!
gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv6 port gpsd, Address already in use
