Ok, well I guess the -p option I found was a typo. I can dig up the link for the page I found it on if you like. Anyway, I restarted gpsd without the -p and gpsdrive still works. Now, I did not realize that the Options display was updated only after a beacon. I have not attempted a beacon yet so I guess I can't tell if this is working or not. BUT, the terminal does NOT state: GPSD /dev/..... So, I am guessing it still does not work for me on Ubuntu 6.10 Dave On 3/2/07, Rein Couperus <rein@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
As already stated in the wiki: * First start gpsd with you gps connected. * The man page of gpsd says you start gpsd with 'gpsd /dev/xxx' (gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 in my case) * It also says the -f option is depricated. An -p option is not mentioned at all (which is why I did not check it in the first place.) * Then start the pskmail client. The client checks if gpsd is running (it looks for 'gpsd /dev in the process table), if yes it starts the gps thread and the termnal will say 'GPSD /dev/ttyUSB0'. * Pskmail now uses the gps value for beaconing, either by hand or automatically. * The Options display is updated AFTER the first beacon has been sent. * If there is no gps value the position of the Options dialog will be used. Work on UBUNTU 6.06 here. Rein EA/PA0R/P -- http://pa0r.blogspirit.com
