Hi, This is a leftover from a constellation of issues I'd previously reported around gpsd. gpsd hs been fixed, opencpn marine application finds it just fine. Despite a comment of mine and one other in the prior bug, foxtrotgps is not working. It reports success in connecting to gpsd, but no position is displayed. This was new problem with M8. M7 worked fine. May be related to what sounds like the same problem, also with v1.2.2, as reported late last year in Gentoo https://bugs.gentoo.org/808883 foxtrotgps-1.2.2: doesn't show position with some receivers (PATCH) Could we patch ours please. With thanks, Tony
my gps device Haicom Hi-206-USB: gpsctl /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF GSD4e_4.1.2-P1_RPATCH.07-HC151113-H 11/13/2015 317;GSD4e at 4800 baud.
and this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/foxtrotgps/+bug/1917998 don't show the position even if I have a valid fix >The problem is because foxtrotgps use the status field, but it seems to be >"deprecated" in gpsd. >See https://gitlab.com/gpsd/gpsd/-/commit/c3b0fb6394964ca57cecfa0a65d6b3cde2dd1f6f
Given that fixes have apparently been upstreamed, without changing version number, are we working off the old codebase prior to the fix? I suspect so. Tony
Please test foxtrotgps-1.2.2-4.2.mga8 with updated patches from Gentoo in core/updates_testing.

Hmmm, not made it into the mirror I'm using yet. (Princeton) Will test as soon as it appears. Much obliged. Tony
I'm not seeing this package in MCC -> Install & Remove Software with core/updates_testing (distrib5) enabled

Removing and re-adding the repos cleared the problem, though I have no idea why. If "urpmi.update e" followed by "urpmq -i foxtrotgps" doesn't show the new version, try "urpmi.removemedia -y Core Nonfree Tainted" and then re-adding them using drakrpm-edit-media, selecting the same mirror. If that fixes it, we have a second bizarre case to look into.

Took me doing _all_ of the above in #7, but now displayed it, installed, tested, and its fixed. I trust this will be moved across to appropriate repository. Much obliged. Tony
