Enabling Geoclue2 should enable services.avahi #329522
Comments
Hmmm yeah I guess we should do that when |
Since the fix is one line, I added it to #329654 although the PR is unrelated. Note that since @SrTobi to be clear your provider is NMEA, correct? |
Ok, please wait before merging this... today geoclue isn't working for me anymore even though the avahi service is enabled... I can therefore not be sure if my assessment above is correct... I have to investigate this further. |
Some steps that may help narrow the issue:
|
The current working premise implied by #329522 (comment) is that the author of the issue is using the nmea provider, which to the best of my knowledge is the only provider which requires the avahi service. If they were using the wifi provider (the only provider affected by the Mozilla Location Service (MLS) changes), avahi isn't relevant. The PR #329654 adds the static (and compass) source(s), allowing one to circumvent the MLS issues with manual intervention. I initially included the unrelated fix to enable avahi when nmea is enabled since it was simple, but I've since removed it due to the concerns in #329522 (comment). Re: MLS I already mentioned this in my 4th point of #329522 (comment). |
Describe the bug
I noticed that redshift doesn't find the location via geoclue2 anymore. It seems that geoclue2 requires another service called
avahi
, which didn't run on my system.Setting
enables the geoclue2 service, but that one fails to provide location data. Asking for the status gives
after manually enabling
avahi
viaEverything works fine...
Note: I think for many people the avahi service is automatically enabled by other settings. For example guix, gnome, and pulseaudio with hasZeroconf will enable avahi.
Expected behavior
I think when the geoclue2 service is enabled, the avahi service should be enabled too.
