- A fix for Conky not starting on your build a pi system. Most of the time, it is not a Conky issue at all but rather a GPS issue that is causing the problems. Let's take a look at how to solve both.

God bless you Jason! Sorry I bothered you on the blog. NOOB is a sophomore now. Display resolution was Issue 1 and not finding this video was Issue 2. You're the Best I had tried a different build and your dedication to this project proves itself in spades.
Thank you, Jason, I just got the GPS on Monday and reloaded 3 times with this issue. I followed your video and as always right on the money. Thank you for all you do, definitely my favorite channel!! I am setting mine up to use with the IC-705 that I received as a gift.
Great to hear!
This worked for me, Jason. And it's working with that newstyle GPS that you showed recently. Much better reception.
Very Nice. I just noticed this happening over the weekend. Thought it was something I did as I was doing some new things with my Pi and had installed some other software(Which I will have a video soon). Good to know it wasn't me and there is a fix. I will give it a go. Thanks Jason.
You are the HERO of the week.. Found out also that conky didn't start because of my GPS dongle. But could not find why. Fixed.
Thanks a lot, Jason ! Every day I keep getting useful info from you, so I decided to become a patreon.
Awesome, thank you!
Works great on the new build a pi update. Multiple views - smart!
Excellent help Jason! I did Build-A-Pi V3 and sure enough, no Conky! I've been fighting with the GPS (the one on the pigtail that you recommended a few episodes back) and couldn't get it to work. I followed things step-by-step and sure enough, it tells me that I am in DM26IF11, just as it should. Running the NIST clock at time.gov, it says that I am now consistently way less than a second off from Coordinated Universal Time. Success! Linux is a bit of a struggle for me - I lived through DOS & WATFIV but there are some really sticky problems that I need help with. This was one. Thanks es 73 de Mark, W6MW!
Thanks so much for your pi builds. I personally prefer your 'image' over the 'hampi'. Only trouble I've had was updating my Conky display.
Brilliant! Thanks very much! Very good, clear stuff.
Fixed my issues with the ic705. I used the file ending in "if02" for the gps and its now working great. Thanks for the help! 73
Thanks for the fix!
Thank you very much for this video. I had exactly this problem with the Ublox7 GPS unit. Strangely, I was able to add an old Bluetooth GPS with far less problems.
Thanks, Jason! You nailed it: fixed my GPS issues on my Pi4. You rock! DE KF6AAL
Spor on! Thanks!
I was gnashing my teeth trying to get to the bottom of the GPS
issue. Thanks so much for this info. Now everything's running!
Wait until 16FEB2021 when we change it all again for the better!
Dude! You're awesome!!!! I knew you would get his figured out! KC2JDR
I needed to perform this for my recent Pi build. I actually had to perform all the steps twice, after the first attempt there was no change. Upon the second purge, everything went fine.
This was frustrating the heck out of me - thanks for digging into the root cause here Jason! In my case with a Pi 4, I had to run a usb extension block out of one of the USB 2.0 slots to avoid using either of the two USB 3.0 ports on the pi - I saw you mention that in another video the USB 3.0 ports adversely affect the gps operation. However, though I now see a few satellites showing up on xgps (where before it was completely blank) none are in a "fixed" red state nor have I ever seen my grid square appear in the conky display pane. Time to reboot ... no change. I'm also noticing that the green led no longer flashes. This gps dongle is a real pain!
Try putting the GPS next to a window or take the Pi/GPS outside for a bit to see if it improves. Another option is to use the GPS on your mobile th-cam.com/video/rkmQxvT8BpQ/w-d-xo.html Cell service not required for this to work.
ohhhhhh my good iḿ from Guatemala mr and let me tell that you are soooooo god!!!
Thanks a lot Jason, solved my problem by following all the steps ;) Keep up the good work :) - 73 Willy-ON7TW
Ha - I had this issue at the beginning - maybe back in May. I have 1 pi specifically for shack use so dont have a GPS connected to it. I mod'ed the script to just put out my hardcoded grid square. Going to have a look at your fix to integrate it into my mobile pi - GPS never locks in the basement shack. Love your content! Have one of your pack antennas on the bench ready to be built (and get tons of comments on the Covid 19 Veteran patch i wear on my hat). 73 KC1NAM
yes it still works in 2021!
I did some experimentation & I believe (90% confidence) that the gpsd service starts before some resource is ready, causing it to hang. I resolved it without having to purge/reinstall gpsd.
In /etc/system/multi-user.target.wants/gpsd.service, added in the [Service] sec
tion, before ExecStart:
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 20
Then, reloaded the service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
On the next reboot, gpsd nor conky hung.
Thanks for the advice. BAP 3.0.6 just released and we handle the GPS display a bit differently. It should resolve this problem going forward. If not, I may take your approach.
sudo apt-get purge modemmanager fixed it for me.
When you want to uninstall - unplug the GPS dongle it will then go quick. I think that it's still got a file open or something and waits for a timeout else. I also have had a similar GPS issue for a few weeks now but I'm running an older version of GPSD on Ubuntu. It seems like a timing issue to me. I'm not sure what has changed there were so many different updates I guess it will be solved on it's own sooner or later. In the past I was able to either do sudo service gpsd restart or unplug and replug and then do sudo service gpsd restart and it seemed to work. What I have noticed in dmesg is this: "cdc_acm 5-1:1.0: failed to set dtr/rts" after the dongle was plugged in... Also seems like it does this when it cannot get a lock...
i ran into this problem with my pi build. I did everything to the letter and it worked. however the next day after doing this i experience same issue, typed cgps in terminal and now it shows n/a under all exempt status where it says no fix. Is their a way to fix this? thank you so much for the help
I did this twice with no luck. Conky works with the GPS plugged in, but shows no GPS data . Tested the VK-162 device on Windows, and it works. CGPS shows no data.
just did all this twice and as soon as i open up the pat win link menu and select find win link gateways i get a no gps in conky and if i try cgps there is no data , even worse the directory /dev/serial does not exist anymore
This Conky issue has been a real hassle, but get this Jason. I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm on 2 of my installs. Sat down tonight to do the 3rd one and everything seems to work but when I run GPSD to confirm, I get this error " gpsd:ERROR: can't run with neither control socket nor devices" xgps shows data and Conky displays the gridsquare just fine. Until I reboot. Then I'm back to no gps in Conky. xgps still shows data. Weird right? I should add that after a few minutes, Conky pops up the gridsquare but gpsd still throws the same error.
That is really odd. Maybe try unplugging the GPS on the trouble system during the uninstall. The plug it back in before reinstalling gpsd.
@@KM4ACK Jason and Scott -- I am getting the same error, and tried the remedy mentioned above. I followed the video instructions and no joy when I try cgps or xgps. Anything else I should try? 73.
BTW, I am getting a green light for tracking, just no data.
I did unplug the GPS and plugged it back in and now it is working. Not seeing any problems Just loaded it today..
I have run through this video multiple times but still do not get response from the GPS. Conky is displaying but just does not show the Gridsquare and shows NO GPS. When I run cgps no data is shown. I am wondering if the dongle has gone bad. It worked at one time before I did the latest instructions on installing the build-a-pi. I may just buy one of the newer units with the remote antenna.
I notice there is a program on the Ham menu called Conky but nothing seems to happen when I click on it. What should happen?
I ran it one more time and it finally started working.
I just got my Pi 4 and would like to know if the fix in in the new install from your install? Or will I need to install your Pi setup and then do this to fix it?
Not everyone has experienced the problem so you may be ok. Bookmark this video just in case.
@@KM4ACK Thank You for all the things you do to help! I try to tell others about you Build a Pi.
Excellent job Jason! Thank you for being so responsive.
The small BT GPS module that you recommended works great - ordered it using your link. I plan to put the R-Pi under my front center seat in my truck and access it using iPad/VNC. To avoid GPS reception issues from that location, I found this module with the same U-Blox 7 chipset and a longer USB cable (w/ mag mount) to remote the sensor up onto the dash. Both sensors worked great when I tested them this evening.

Hi Jason, I followed the instructions, but I don't have cgps or xgps apps. Are they part of BAP?
Paul VK2AHB
I should have added that the Grid Square now appears in Conky. Not likely to change as I don't operate away from the shack. Another question: Is the GPS now doing the time thing or is the Pi still using the ntp?
cgps & xgps install as part of BAP when you choose to install the GPS. You can install manually by running "sudo apt install gpsd-clients" The pi should be able to get time from the internet if connected and from the GPS when not connected to the internet.
You're a magician. Fixed the problem first time. THANK YOU so much. KJ7IEA
Hello Jason! I'm trying to install GPS but build-a-pi doesn't find my Bluetooth GPS on /dev/rfcomm0. Any advice? TIA
BAP doesn't currently support bluetooth GPS. You will need to add it manually. I did a video a while back that shows you how to add GPS manually. It was for a USB GPS but you should be able to gather enough info to point you in the right direction th-cam.com/video/Oag9qYuhMGg/w-d-xo.html I don't own a bluetooth GPS but think you will only need to mod the /etc/default/gpsd file after you have the bluetooth connected and associated with rfcomm0
@@KM4ACK Thanks Jason!
This didn't seem to fix my issue xgps fine finding stats same for cgps just no lat long funny enough tho gpsmon gives me lat long no issue very odd behavior
Just edit the config and restart gpsd. No need to purge/reinstall.
Tried that first but didn't work.
excellent! This fixed my problem..thanks Jason de K5BEZ
worked for me, thanks! de KJ4LAB
