Hello, Ok, today I found out what the problem was. Easy, but a bit embarrassing: I hadn't turned on the GPS via the GPS indicator gadget in the top panel. Oops! Once I did that and went outside, the GPS started getting satellite data within seconds.

Even if gpsd holds a read lock on the fifo, GPS Sight is also able to read from it. The fifo(7) man page under Linux (Ubuntu) also seems to indicate this: "A FIFO special file (a named pipe) is similar to a pipe, except that it is accessed as part of the file system. It can be opened by multiple processes for reading or writing." Anyway, at work indoor the GPS got a fix easily. It seems a bit harder here in my apartment, I'll leave it on for a bit and see if it gets a fix. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
