Hi from Quebec city, Canada... On a desktop PC, Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10. Using current distro kernel (3.0.0-12-generic-pae) with current Bluez package (Bluez-4.96): Unable to parse serial data from Garmin GPS-10 Bluetooth GPS receiver... I am using a Broadcom BCM-2035 USB dongle as my Bluetooth device. The USB dongle appears to connect correctly to the GPS receiver, but the ACL link seems to lock up... Workaround: Use Bluez-4.69 from Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, which works perfectly with my USB dongle / GPS-10 Garmin receiver combination. I had similar problems with Ubuntu Natty 11.04, and also had to revert to Bluez-4.69 to get to read the serial data from Bluetooth GPS. Best regards, Mr. Yvan Laguë Quebec city, Canada. P.S.: Sorry to use this unusual approach to report my problem, as I seem unable to log into Launchpad, always getting some sort of "Open ID error" when trying to log in.
