GPSD DON'T START ! - Didier B - 2022-11-22
Using GPSD is not mandatory, though it presents the advantage to allow using NMEA, as, in this case SignalK receives the NMEA flow coming from the GNSS.
Consequently, the GNSS status of OpenCPN becomes available (among other goodies ...)
However there is, since some times, a bug in this utilization :
After startup, GPSD simply doesn't work
until a gpsd client is activated (any of them, gpsmon, cgps, xgps ...) then immediately GPSD starts to present NMEA to SignalK and all is fine.This isn't an activation issue because if (just after start-up procedure), I pass the command :
systemctl is-active gpsd
I get the response : active, but gpsd still does'nt work and NMEA don't reach Signal K !
Only after using any gpsd clients, everything is OK again
Could Dev team add something in the start up procedure which REALLY would activate that daemon, e.g. start/stop one of its clients
?Thanks in advance for your answers !
Used versions : Openplotter 2.9.1, OpenCPN 5.6.2, Signal K 1.45.0
BTW Signal K displays : connected to localhost 2947 which seems right !
