<pre>I can't get my GPS to get a fix, even outside. I'm using the latest

sunny weather!
Is anyone else having this issue, or does anyone know of a solution?

I have some experience with 2008.8/9. Since I upgrades to 2008.9 I had more difficulties but since I found out that settings doesnt show current status of gps-power example if wake up from standby (its always off no matter what shown).<br>
I get a fix after approx. 2min when enter outside best not to close to house wall. I also have external antenna which is more reliable and can see and track more sattelites.<br>
Once I thought that gpsd was not runnning when I had problems but since I keep focus on it it always run (I expect the problem was power that was off).<br>
<br>
The most frequent problem I have now is that tangogps crash with segment fault after run for a while. Didn't have time to investigate that.

Running 2008.9 with the latest kernel. I've even tried using the agps program with assist online. That makes agps-ui show a list of satellites, and have the current GPS time, but no signal. I was thinking of trying the antenna repair SOP.<br>
