Full workaround to use garmin USB device in 9.04: in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf: #blacklist garmin_gps The udev rule to add: #cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules SYSFS{idVendor}==091e, SYSFS{idProduct}==0003, MODE=666 The Filesystem to mount: /etc/fstab: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs 0

You might want to set it to fix commited, if this is the case? But then if garmin_gps is loaded by udev rules, wont't it again break other packages that use usb: to fetch trackdata from the device? -- gpsd depends on blacklisted garmin_gps module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388917 You

The problem is that gpsd won't work without the garmin_gps module, on the other side other packages should work with the module... so in fact we have three bugs here: - garmin_gps is blacklisted (could you file an appropriate bug against the package which provides the blacklist?) - garmin_gps

For the workaround, it is better to leave garmin_gps blacklisted (stadard) so that it wont be loaded during boot, and just sudo modprobe garmin_gps and gpsd /dev/gps when you need gpsd. (For gpsdrive, tangoGPS etc.). -- gpsd depends on blacklisted garmin_gps module

Blacklisting garmin_gps is not a bug. It allows apps to use libusb instead. Bug #236682 garmin_gps.ko assumes you're using usbfs exists. -- gpsd depends on blacklisted garmin_gps module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Best thing is probably to switch the gpsr to NMEA and just use that... Even if my device supported it, I would think it would not help with setting up the USB conectivity. With 1) the udev rule to apply correct permissions to usb device (that shoud come installed with some default init
