|    Cannot read Garmin device on Slack15    |
|    06 May 22 14:58:26    |
      From: NoEMail@home.org              I have been trying to read data from my garmin301       forerunner. I used sbopkg to build gpsbabel.       I then used slackpkg to update all (manY).              With 14.2 and previous I used this command to       access the data:              gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx              This doesn't work with 15.0:nothing is read back                            According to an online post, one needs to :       echo -n "1-1:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage/unbind       which didn't fix the problem.              When the garmin is connected I get the device ttyUSB0 created.       The gpsbabel help shows two garmin entries (garmin and garmin301)              Then I tried this sequences of gpsbabel commands:       gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f usb: -o garmin301 -F /ram/outfile.gpx       gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f usb: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx       gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx       gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx       gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx              The last command yields a file /ram/outfile.gpx but it       does not contain the data. That file reads:                      |
