Bug#786756: Acknowledgement (geoclue-2.0: provide development headers)

2015-05-25 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Control: retitle -1 GeoClue 2 not accessible by normal user over the bus


Okay. There's no need for any headers. Hence retitled accordingly.

But can you guys please shed some light on who is currently consuming
geoclue2 ?


From what I investigated so far, it registers on the system bus, but no
one is allowed to invoke its methods.

As my normal user creds, I tried to invoke the dbus methods and it timed
out. But as per the dbus policy for geoclue, it states that such method
invocation should be allowed.


Second, redshift for example, is using the o.f.GeoClue2.Location path,
where as Debian's geoclue2 is providing o.f.GeoClue2.Client.Location
path. Is it expected ?

Bug#786756: Acknowledgement (geoclue-2.0: provide development headers)

2015-05-25 Thread Laurent Bigonville
Hello,

geoclue2 should be especially configured to allow applications to
request the location. Add something like that in :

[redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Redshift#Failed_to_run_Redshift_due_to_geoclue2

I'm not 100% sure if there is an other way to do so without modifying
the config.

I would also suggest you to disable the old geoclue support, I really
would like to remove the package from the archive.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
