See my suggestions for solving these geoclue-hostip issues :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/redshift/+bug/808006/comments/15
I have now in my ~/.config/redshift.conf :
[redshift]
location-provider=geoclue
[geoclue]
name=org.freedesktop.Geoclue.Providers.Hostip
path=/org/freedesktop/Geoclue/Providers/Hostip
; The location provider and adjustment method settings
; are in their own sections.
[manual]
lat=48.530344
lon=2.250073
and can the switch to gtk-redshift -l manual if needed for a fallback
when geoclue-hostip won't work (and when I'm in Paris).
I'm not sure the DEFAULT_PROVIDER and DEFAULT_PROVIDER_PATH in src
/location-geoclue.c are valid outside the Ubuntu world, so hence the
name and path...
Hope this helps

Bug description:
Since switching to oneiric redshift won't start. It is listed as a
startup application and these lines are present in .xsession-error
from it:
Unable to get location from provider.
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.
There is also no process in a ps listing. If I start it from the
command prompt then it starts just fine often with substantially
similar messages.
