Re: [gpsd-users] gpsd not capturing device on startup

[Joshua Quesenberry]

Looks like I found the issue. We had another piece of software that was
grabbing the interface that we didn't know was running. I guess both process
were crashing after cgps attempted to use the device, which relinquished
control of the port and was allowing me to gain control when running gpsd
manually. Now that the application doesn't autostart I've been able to
restart a few time successfully, so hopefully it's good now. I also reverted
back to the systemd craziness and that seems reliable now too.

Thanks!

You can't automate what you can't do by hand.  So first work with gpsd by
hand.  Like this, as root:
        # killall -9 gpsd
        # gpsd -nD 4 /dev/ttyUSB0

You should have a lot of logging telling you what gpsd is doing.
