Public bug reported: At some point during the month of July 2018, the geolocation service stopped working in all ubuntu versions of chromium (I'm currently testing on the latest stable, 68.0.3440.75).
This can be observed by browsing to https://html5demos.com/geo, authorizing the browser to access the position information when prompted, and observing that the page consistently fails to find the location. The same issue has been reported for ArchLinux packages: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg /chromium-packagers/1LDZZnYJ0SU/OCCtVl78BQAJ. It appears Google now requires API key owners to enable billing (despite the fact that geolocation is supposedly a free service), and this hasn't been done for the API key used in Ubuntu packages. ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Olivier Tilloy (osomon) Status: New ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784395 Title: Geolocation stopped working recently in chromium To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1784395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
