answer sed: bad option in substitution expression

Comment

This is because you are using a regex containing /, which is the same character sed uses as delimiter.

Just change the sed delimiter to another one, for example ~:

sed -i 's~^GPS_DEVICES="".*~GPS_DEVICES="dev/ttyUSB1"~' /etc/default/gpsd.default
