<p>Fred, my opinion may not be very valuable as I have not used
Foxtrot for some time. But, two suggestions :</p>
<p>* Firstly, by running a program like this as root, you may have
caused a whole lot of files in fred's space to be owned by root.
When you then run as fred, you find that fred cannot write to
those files. Its just about never a good idea to run a user space
GUI app as root.</p>
<p>* Second, from memory, gpsd runs as the user gpsd. For fred to be
able to read gpsd's data, fred probably needs to be in the gpsd
group. Can you check that please, maybe look to see if there is a
gpsd user and group, if so, is fred also a member of the gpsd
group ? They these commands as user fred -<br>
</p>
<p>$> cat /etc/group | gpsd <enter></p>
<p>....</p>
<p>$> groups <enter></p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hello,
Since years I'm using foxtrotgps to show openstreetmap.org maps with my added
POI's on screen to have an overview of those POI's in a centain environment.
All of a sudden moment the maps were not shown when running in a common user
environment while the same programm running under root shown the maps in the
normal way. What this problem initiated is unknown to me.
To shown the problem the attachments shows the diffenrences:
- left the screen running under root,
- middle the configuration panel,
- right the screen running under user fred.
Note the error message No GPSD found: that missing device get the maps again
unde user fred.
So my question is how to get those maps under user fred displayed again.
Regards,
Fred
