gps error kismet + magellan 315

bazan · 06-19-2003

hi, well i had been using kismet for a couple of weeks and is really great, but i couldnt make that gpsdrive work with the gps i think that is working with kismet because it shows me a little icon of it int the map at the bottom.

well my config is p 266, 96 ram (in case is a hardware thing)
rh9 + orinoco silver (patched ok).
my gps is magellan 315 firmware 3.15 spanish language.
1) wich nmea version do u recomend 1.5 APA, 1.5xte or 2.1 gsa ?(2.1 selected)
2) is set to 4800

i think is a mistake from me because under windows works with ozi.

i do like this
log as root

#gpsd
then
#kismet_monitor -H
#su kismetuser
$kismet

open a new terminal

#gpsdrive (sql selected, all of them selected)
i use maps from www.maporama.com mapbast o mapquest doesen't have Argentina @ street level
i see the kismet logo @ the bottom of gpsdrive windows but nothing happend

also when i chek the network information it tells me lat and long but only said 0.00000000 both

i have read in the rh+orinoco+kismet howto, that i should start first gpsdrive, and from there start gpsd, then close.
start kismet, then start again gpsdrive, tonigth i will try that.
TIA J

If it is working in Kismet, you will know it. In between frames you will see your current coordinates and what satellite lock you have, if any. If GPS does not work, this will not be there, and Kismet will not create the kismet.gps file.

As for GPSdrive, last time I ran it I thought there was some sort of permissions issue I ran into. Something that wanted root access to function properly, because when I su'd to root and ran gpsdrive it became automagically happy. Maybe it was permissions on the device the unit was on? .. not sure because I didn't bother following through.. I never really did like it much though... so I junked it and stayed with gpsd.

well it work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!, i have do't like in the how toguide, and work
note: put gps to 4800 it was in 9600

1) log as root
2) open a terminal then execute gpsdrive
3) start gpsd from there, close gpsdrive
4) chown kismetuser:kismetuser /home/kismetuser/kismet-logs (in case when i copy the files as root he regained privileies over the folder
5) kismet_monitor -H
6) su kismetuser
7) kismet
8) in a new workspace open a new terminal then execute gpsdrive

it was doing ok, but after a couple of minutes it like it hangs gpsdrive and then never again show a map in the terminal said loop detected please inform and gpsdrive was hanged, but kismet was still receiving the coordinates so i keep WD.

maybe is my notebook that is too slow, what do u think?
