Package: gpsd Version: 3.6-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to use gpsd to access a GlobalSat BU-353 USB GPS with my Raspberry Pi board. If I run, gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 from the command line, it works fine (i.e., I can access GPS information via cgps). If I try to access the gpsd that is automatically launch via the USB hotplug/udev system, it doesn't work (i.e., cgps doesn't return GPS information). Here is the logged output in xconsole -file /dev/xconsole from hotplugging the GPS unit into place: Jan 7 22:00:25 raspberrypi kernel: [10510.798190] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg Jan 7 22:00:26 raspberrypi kernel: [10510.900721] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 Jan 7 22:00:26 raspberrypi kernel: [10510.900752] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jan 7 22:00:26 raspberrypi kernel: [10510.900768] usb 1-1.2: Product:USB-Serial Controller Jan 7 22:00:26 raspberrypi kernel: [10510.900781] usb 1-1.2:Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
