Description

Connection was created mostly following this guide.

  • Connect to a GPS device
  • Stop GPSD (data is still delivered to /dev/rfcomm0)
  • Click Disconnect
  • Click Connect
  • Segfault

No settings regarding GPS were changed in QGIS. The build actually uses a system wide Qwtpolar and Spatialindex lib, but I suppose that's not the cause. The build is like 4 days old.

No idea what debugging info is missing here.

  • Status changed from New to Feedback

Can you confirm with a recent (possibly master) qgis version?

#5
Updated by Volker Fröhlich about 1 year ago

I'll try to do that.

But I think no part of the responsible code was seriously changed.

#6
Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 1 year ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.7.4 to Version 1.8.0

#7
Updated by Volker Fröhlich about 1 year ago

Honestly, it is a bit difficult to reproduce for me, 1 year later. I tried with QGIS 1.7.4 for now.

I can't manage to connect via gpsd at all. It only works by using the device directly. The gpsd daemon certainly works. I can watch data by connecting to the gpsd port.

What I probably saw, when I first created this ticket:

If I just use "Autodetect" I get a direct connection. Starting gpsd later on, disconnecting and connecting again, crashes QGIS. Although the scenario might be somewhat unconventional, QGIS should not crash.

Concerning gpsd, I'm maybe doing something wrong.

  • Priority changed from High to Normal
  • Status info deleted (0)
  • Affected version changed from master to 1.7.4

More tests with qgis 1.8 and master are necessary.
