I can use gpsbabel to download data from my Garmin 60csx using:

# gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F Garmin-2Mar2011.gpx

But I cannot connect to my Garmin 60csx using QLandkarteGT

I have set the QLandkarteGT Device & Xfer config as follows -
Garmin
Serial Port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Type: GPSMap60CSx

When I click on Track/Download, I get::

Failed to download tracks. Failed to configure USB: Device or resource busy

The kernel driver 'dummy' is blocking. Please use 'rmmod dummy' as root to remove it temporarily. You might consider to add 'blacklist dummy' to your modeprobe.conf, to remove the module permanently.

# rmmod dummy
ERROR: Module dummy does not exist in /proc/modules

What do I need to do???

Can you post the output of the following?

Thank you for quick response corp769

[root@localhost john]# lsmod | grep gps
garmin_gps 17333 0
usbserial 38383 1 garmin_gps
usbcore 210260 6 garmin_gps,usbserial,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

Haha, exactly what I thought. Before I go any further, have you tried running it as root?

Yes, but same result

Ok cool. Try removing the garmin_gps module and see if that gives you what you need.

Adding blacklist garmin_gps to /etc/modprobe.conf has stopped the garmin_gps loading when plugging in the garmin.

Thank you corp769 for your help.

So did it fix it, or did it not?

Fixed, very happy. Could not find SOLVED tag.

It is under thread tools at the top of the thread.

Cheers,
