[Xastir] Xastir on Ubuntu locks up opening serial TTY

[Neill Thornton]

All,

Got some time this morning to fiddle with this some more... 

First I bumped up to the latest CVS.  Then, Robert's suggestion of running "stty -F /dev/ttyS5 clocal" (with sudo) worked on the first shot.

Everything seems to be up and running just fine now!

Thanks Robert,

Neill

I've run into a similar issue (Xastir locks up upon attempting to access
the serial port) that I was able to resolve by enabling clocal with stty
(disabling the need for CD to be present to open the port) on the
affected serial port.  In your case, "stty -F /dev/ttyS5 clocal".

You might give that a try, and if it doesn't work, perhaps the output of
"stty -F /dev/ttyS5" may give some clues.
