[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#590690: gpsdrive does not find gpsd (status: no gps)

[Jens Röder]

Package: gpsdrive
Version: 2.10~pre4-6.dfsg-5+b2
Severity: important


gpsd is correctly running with a navilock NL-402u. Although gpsdrive 
gives a "gps status" of "no gps". I tested gpsd with "tangogps" which 
works correctly, connecting to gpsd and gives out the correct position. 
Also "xgps" does show me the position of the satelites. "gpscat 
/dev/ttyACM0" also produces a constant data stream. So far I am sure the 
driver and device is working correctly. Only gpsdrive does not connect 
to the gpsd. Trying manually to allow with the option '-t' to connect to 
a device directly seems also not to work. I guess the problem could be 
in gpsdrive itself, but more is beyond my skills. strace gives finally a 
repeating message of:


gettimeofday({1280321706, 774830}, NULL) = 0
read(3, 0x8dd8dd0, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1280321706, 775175}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 3, 24) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
read(3, "\6\0\364#k\36P\6\23\1\0\0.\0\0\3\0\0\0\0a\4Q\0\202\3 \0\20\0\1\0", 4096) = 32
read(3, 0x8dd8dd0, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1280321706, 781789}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}])
writev(3, [{"&\4\2\0.\0\0\3", 8}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 8
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)    = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])


For more information, please let me know what you need to fix it.
