e geolocation module doesn't work

[jls]

Hi
e geolocation module uses geoclue-2.0 package but it doesn't work, any help?
Thanks

[Juanito]

do you need to use dconf-editor to enable it - I believe that geolocation is disabled by default?

In what way does it not work? 

[jls]

Code: [Select]

sudo  /usr/local/tce.installed/geoclue-2.0 configure
./geoclue-2.0: line 29: getent: not found
so I installed libc-bin because that command is there.
looking at  the content of : /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.service:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.GeoClue2
Exec=/usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/geoclue -t 5
User=geoclue

I tried to exexute:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/geoclue
(geoclue:13652): Geoclue-CRITICAL **: Failed to acquire name 'org.freedesktop.GeoClue2' on system bus or lost it.

same with sudo

On corepure64 I get this:

Code: [Select]

..when starting gnome-maps and clicking on the "my location" icon. The same thing happens when using an html5 location services test with epiphany.

I've seen this sort of error before and wonder if the code expects the certs file under /tmp/tcloop?

[Juanito]

tested with copy2fs.flg set and the problem persists.

The geoclue dev says either https is broken on libsoup or the certificate is too old, but I doubt that's the issue with dcore?

[Juanito]

I just found the problem in glib-networking in corepure64 (typo in ./configure switch), but I somehow doubt that solves your dcore problem

Thanks Juanito, I am not familiar with this package but I will use this information and see if I can figure something out on why it doesn't work here.
