Confirmed in 12.04.2 Fixed in GPSD in Aug 2009, here is the original bug report in Debian bugtracker http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542384
Gpsd developers added compile time option (!?) to set fallback gpsd group when device from command line is unavailable when gpsd starts. IMO, it should be runtime command line argument, not compile time option, but that is what we've got. Attached patch setting 'gpsd_group=dialout' compile option. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #542384 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542384 ** Patch added: "gpsd_default_group.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpsd/+bug/584936/+attachment/3720003/+files/gpsd_default_group.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584936 Title: gpsd cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpsd/+bug/584936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
