[gpsd-dev] Bug report: 100% CPU usage

[Fabian Franz]

Hi devs,


I experience an issue with gpxlogger and did not find an issue tracker.

In cgps and xgps everything is file so I think this is an issue in
gpxlogger - you can find two screenshots attached containing the proof.
Actually xgps shows 11 satellites using 6 of them for a 3d fix. The CPU
usage of gpxlogger keeps at 100% permanently so it is some kind of a
loop issue like active waiting.

Note that xgps is called python2 in top.


Kind Regards


Fabian Franz BSc
