I installed GeoClue 2.5.6-0ubuntu1.1 from proposed including the dev and demo packages. I cannot confirm that this fixes the issue as described in the test case above using the where-am-i demo and Pantheon's polkit agent
I then tried with GNOME Maps both from deb packaging and from Flatpak and both were able to access my location while location services were disabled I also tried using the agent demo from geoclue-2-demo, and both where- am-i and GNOME maps were able to access location without permission while location services were marked disabled ** Tags removed: verification-needed-focal ** Tags added: verification-failed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to geoclue-2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890924 Title: Location services work with location services off, 20.04 Status in geoclue-2.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in geoclue-2.0 source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in geoclue-2.0 source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Bug description: * Impact Disabling the location service in settings isn't reflection on traditional deb applications * Test case - Log in an Ubuntu desktop session - install geoclue-2-demo - go to gnome-control-center, privacy, location and ensure the service is disabled - $ /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i the script should return a permission error and not a location * Regression potential [racb] Users who are currently relying on a working location service despite having a setting disabling it will find that the location service will stop working because the setting will start to be honoured. The change is in the client library, try a few applications, deb and snap or flatpak and make sure the status is correct respected ----------------------------- Not sure if this is the right package, but in the privacy -> location settings, in 18.04 I had to have my application be approved by user to access location with Geoclue. Now it seems this is working without the location services "enabled"?? My application is repeater-START: https://sourceforge.net/projects /repeater-start/ Steps to see issue: 1) install Repeater-START and click the locate me button circle to the left. It goes to your rough location on map. 2) Go to settings, privacy, location, note that location is turned off!?
