How to get NTP to take the time from my GPS device












0















I am currently attempting to use a USB GPS device to set the time on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine which is not connected to the internet.



If I run gpsmon or xgps it shows me the time, although it’s only seeing one or two satellites at any one time.



If I run ntpq it shows me .GPS. And .PPS. But neither are selected and delay, offset and jitter are 0.



My ntp.conf contains:



driftfile /bar/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable

restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery

restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict ::1

server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 prefer
fudge 127.127.27.0 refid GPS time1 0.535

server 127.127.28.1 minpoll 4
fudge 127.127.28.1 refid PPS

  • What GPS RX are you using? USB normally doesn't play well with ntp. Unless it specifically says it won't support PPS (That's a serial line usually) can you also show us the output from ntpq -pcrv
