You don't change that, that is output from gpsd to you. It is telling you that your gpsd is not connected to any GNSS receivers. Since there is no pinput to gpsd from a receiver, it can not tell you your location. Rather than playing 20 questsions with you. Maybe you should run gpsdenuginfo, as root, and send us the output of that.
