Description of problem:Trying to get a gps dongle running. (Haicom HI-206-USB) Haven't tried it for about 3 yuears but at that time Mageia would give text output of position. Now just garbage. Problem appears to be that gpsd won't run in M7b3 plus updates to today. Its installed, MCC -> Services shows it with tick in box to run at boot, but it doesn't, and using the Start button won't start it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:on 3 different x86_64 boxes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package. Also CC'ing some committers.

Have tried with latest gpsd Cauldron update? gpsd-3.18.1-5.mga7
s/Have/Have you/
OK, with latest update problem is fixed/resolved I'll flesh it out a bit below, for anyone else following this threqd later. Firstly is the dongle there? # gpsctl /dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 4800 baud. Next, can I read its output: # stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB0 get garbage: ���jm�''&&&&&&&&��/.........�k(� �����)GP�m�:�� ����� -�`v����)GP�m�:�� ���� -�`v����)GP�m�:�� ^���� -�`v�����^Z More info came on 2nd gpsctl call, with device: # gpsctl /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF GSW3.5.010HzCallBack_3.5.00.00-SDK-3EP2.01 -090609-NMEA4800_DM1_G1_G13On_Off.

Thus, the process of probing one of these running in NMEA will change its behavior. So after fixed with latest cauldron, may still be an issue with SiRF as above, but now working for opencpn, all looking good after I configured the device for it. With thanks, Tony
