Description Tony Blackwell 2022-04-11 13:51:10 CEST
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

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:

don't show the position even if I have a valid fix

Comment 3 Tony Blackwell 2022-04-11 14:05:25 CEST
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.

Comment 4 Jani Välimaa 2022-04-11 18:45:05 CEST
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.

I'm not seeing this package in MCC -> Install & Remove Software with core/updates_testing (distrib5) enabled

Core Updates Testing (distrib5) http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mageia/distrib/8/x86_64/media/core/updates_testing

Earlier today I had a problem with the chromium update not showing up in my i586
install, using the kernel.org mirror. 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

It shouldn't be closed until it's moved from updates testing to updates.
Validating the update based on comment 8.
