| Dec 19, 2016 at 15:47 | comment | added | user3573562 | Update Bex- 'sudo killall gpsd' does allow me to open the ttyUSB0 port but when I reboot, the port is again busy. I suspect that it's gpsd taking ownership of the port. I don't plan to use gpsd, so is there a clean way to remove it or at least prevent it from running when it detects a GPS on the USB? | |
