Well maybe it *should have*, but it didn't/doesn't. I don't have
/dev/gps. So I changed /etc/default/gpsd to what the 8.04_manual has
for that file. Unplugged the gps, stopped gpsd, restarted gpsd, plugged
gps in. Ran gpspipe -r which displays one line "GPSD, R=1", and still
no /dev/gps and gpsdrive can't see the gps.
Debian Squeeze does not have a hotplug package. It has been replaced
with udev IIRC. So it seems, to me anyway, that the
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_gpsd.rules file should be creating the /dev/gps
device. There is no reference to it in that file though or any mention
of /etc/default/gpsd.
What are other Debian Squeeze users seeing?
Switched the default/gpsd back to what I had and gpsdrive is working
again and plotting the gps which is on /dev/ttyUSB7.
The 8.04 manual instructions dit not work for setting up the databases
either. Guess Ubuntu is a bit different the Debian Squeeze.
Thanks for your reply Ross.
