Public bug reported:
GPSD does not listen to other addresses, i.e. it does not serve clients
on network, even though -G is defined in /etc/default/gpsd.
Netstat output is as follows:
user@mydevice:~ $ netstat -l | grep gps
tcp 0 0 localhost:gpsd 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 localhost:gpsd [::]:* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 21487 /var/run/gpsd.sock
And ps -ax shows as follows:
3890 ? S<s 0:00 /usr/sbin/gpsd -G /dev/ttyUSB0
If GPSD is started from command line, then it serves network clients
fine. Here is an example:
user@mydevice:~$ sudo -u gpsd /usr/sbin/gpsd -G /dev/ttyUSB0
user@mydevice:~$ netstat -l | grep gps
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:gpsd 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 [::]:gpsd [::]:* LISTEN
My assumption, that this is due to systemd overriding the -G option, as
following is defined in /lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket:
[Socket]
ListenStream=/var/run/gpsd.sock
ListenStream=[::1]:2947
ListenStream=127.0.0.1:2947
