@inoki -- can you attach the contents of /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf?? I have also had this problem since upgrading, and I think it's related to Geoclue's whitelisting. The redshift package should be editing /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf to add a stanza like these:
[redshift] allowed=true system=false users= [gtk-redshift] allowed=true system=false users= With this in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf, Redshift gets a location on startup and works correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-geoip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868904 Title: Redshift fails to start with session if no external location provider in available Status in Redshift: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GeoIP: Confirmed Status in redshift package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-geoip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since switching to oneiric redshift won't start.
