Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gpsd
OS: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04
Package: gpsd
Package version: 2.33-4
When I plug in a supported USB-based GPS receiver, gpsd should start by
itself and recognize the device. Because /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper
is broken, this does not happen.
Normally, when I plug in my GPS receiver, it is dealt with by udev
according to the rules in "/etc/udev/gpsd.rules". This file tells udev
to create the device file and symlink and run the script
"/lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper".
For debugging purposes, I have added two touch statements to that file, so that
it looks like this:
-----BEGIN FILE-----
#! /bin/sh
touch /tmp/got_to_1
. /lib/udev/hotplug.functions
touch /tmp/got_to_2
# wait for /usr & /var to be mounted
wait_for_file /usr/bin/python && \
wait_for_file /var/run && \
exec /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug "$ACTION" "$DEVNAME"
-----END FILE-----
When I plug in my USB GPS receiver, the file /tmp/got_to_1 is always
created and the file /tmp/got_to_2 is never created. I believe this is
because /lib/udev/hotplug.functions does not exist.
