Problems with linux and gps dongle

I have used same GPS dongle and same settings with my Raspberry Pi projects for years but now suddently I started to have problems with it. It worked perfectly just after installing gpsd and things but after reboot I couldn’t get it work.


apt-get remove gpsd

and then


apt-get install gpsd

always seemed to get it to work until next reboot but that couldn’t be the real fix for this problem especially when this should work offline.

Then I found out that if I stop gpsd.socket and disable it then my gpsd worked just liked it should and I started to get NMEA data from my GPS dongle:


systemctl stop gpsd.socket systemctl disable gpsd.socket

Not sure why or when this has changed so if anybody know feel free to comment and tell me.
