Hi. For the past couple of years I've used gpsd successfully on various
(K)Ubuntu and Debian Squeeze systems. Up to now all I've had to do was run
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd", answer a few questions and it was off the
races.
With Debian Jessie I get the following when trying to do the same:
address@hidden:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
Warning: Stopping gpsd.service, but it can still be activated by:
gpsd.socket
Creating/updating gpsd user account...
address@hidden:~$
Is there a new/different way to bring up the configuration dialog?
From the debian changelog (installed at /usr/share/doc/gpsd/changelog.gz
on your system):
gpsd (3.10-1) experimental; urgency=low
...
* [d26d1c6f] Get rid of debconf questions.
Also provide a sane /etc/default/gpsd and move
from using /var/run to /run.

So, it would appear that, from version 3.10-1 onwards, the preferred way
to reconfigure gpsd is to edit /etc/default/gpsd, and restart the
daemon.
