https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232097 Summary: garmin_gps module uses the no longer supported /proc/bus/usb/devices directory Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ulrich.voigt@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The garmin_gps module seems to use the /proc/bus/usb/devices directory which I think is no longer supported because of security issues of the usbdevfs filesystem. My kernel is:
uname -a Linux swe2-sp 2.6.16.27-0.6-smp #1 SMP Wed Dec 13 09:34:50 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have installed gpsd and connected a Garmin GPS 18 and got the error "Can't open /proc/bus/usb/devices":
gpsd -N -n -D 9 /dev/ttyUSB0 gpsd: launching (Version 2.34) gpsd: listening on port gpsd gpsd: shmat(0,0,0) succeeded gpsd: shmat(0,0,0) succeeded gpsd: shmat(0,0,0) succeeded gpsd: shmat(0,0,0) succeeded gpsd: running with effective group ID 0 gpsd: running with effective user ID 0 gpsd: opening GPS data source at '/dev/ttyUSB0' gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1 gpsd: Can't open /proc/bus/usb/devices gpsd: no probe matched... gpsd: gpsd_activate(1): opened GPS (5) gpsd: select waits
