Then I don't know - deleting the pickle file was the fix for me. You may want to take a look at the mailing list archives, there are various procedures for checking that the gps has power and such. For example: telnet localhost gpsd r You should get at least one message per second after hitting "enter" after the "r" - whether you have a fix or not. If this works, then things are mostly ok you just don't have a fix. If you get nothing, then there are communication or power problems that prevents the gps unit from working. You may also want to try grep ogpsd < /var/log/frameworkd.log check if there are any messages indicating trouble. this particular one is normal, although it looks like a problem: 2009.02.25 22:47:06 ogpsd WARNING (could not write to '/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on': [Errno 2] No such file or directory:'/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on') Helge Hafting _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
