Description Stephan Olbrich 2010-11-29 13:10:25 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

marble doesn't connect to gpsd properly so I don't get a current position.

When choosing gpsd on the current position plane marble says (with --debug-info):

Initializing position provider: "Ein Modul, das den Standort mit Gpsd ermittelt" 
Abstract layer has been set to:  true 
netlib_connectsock() returns socket on fd 23

and if xgps is NOT running gpsd says:
gpsd: opening read-only GPS data source type 3 and at '/dev/ttyUSB0'
gpsd: speed 38400, 8N1
gpsd: Garmin: garmin_gps Linux USB module not active.
gpsd: speed 9600, 8O1
gpsd: speed 38400, 8N1
gpsd: gpsd_activate(): opened GPS (fd 9)
gpsd: can't use GGA time until after ZDA or RMC has supplied a year.

and after closing marble (with and without xgps running):

gpsd: detaching ::1 (sub 1, fd 10) in detach_client
gpsd: getpeername() = -1, error = Transport endpoint is not connected (107)

And of cource xgps is reporting the correct position. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
plug in gps (gpsd is startet automatically here)
start marble
go to current position plane
switch from deactivated to gpsd

Comment 1 Stephan Olbrich 2010-11-29 13:13:00 UTC

I'm using version 0.10.3 (could not specify that in the reporting form)

Comment 2 Stephan Olbrich 2011-02-10 18:23:59 UTC

Anybody?
I still have the same problem.
marble is now 1.0.0
kde 4.6

Comment 3 Dennis Nienhüser 2012-01-18 18:21:08 UTC

Can you try running marble with LC_ALL set to an english locale? E.g. from a shell

LC_ALL=C marble

I remember a bug in older versions where e.g. German locales confused the parsing of the position. We have a workaround for that in newer versions of Marble, so upgrading should fix it if the LC_ALL workaround above helps.

Comment 4 Thibaut Gridel 2012-02-04 18:44:35 UTC

Are there still gpsd issues with marble regarding locale?
