Re: [chrony-users] getting chrony to work with gpsd on raspbian jessie with gps hat

[Bill Unruh <unruh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clearly your mailer is stripping out line ends from the messages sent out. The
email I sent you had a line break at the end of every line. Your quote of it
has stripped them all out. Strange.

Anyway, so gpsd is working. It is the communication with chrony that does not
seem t obe working.

What is your /etc/chrony.conf file? Are you using a socket or an shm to
communicate from gpsd to chrony?
