GPSD Not working

Post by baranski »

I have installed and followed the directions exactly for the GPS hat. I can get the raw data but when attempting to use gpsd I get the following message and then it crashes. Any ideas?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop gpsd.socket
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
\pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl enable gpsd.socket
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/gpsd.socket \u2192 /lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl start gpsd.socket
Job for gpsd.socket failed.
See "systemctl status gpsd.socket" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

You really only want the first two commands since the idea is to disable the service:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ult ... 1723496-18

Are you really wanting to enable it for some reason? If so, try running the suggested command:

Code: Select all

systemctl status gpsd.socket
and check that output for messages that indicate why it failed to start.
