Public bug reported: I'm aware that the underlying service is going to be retired as covered by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/2062178
However, the service is still active as of writing but somehow GNOME desktop env cannot determine the timezone. It's worth noting that gnome- maps for example can successfully locate where I am through the geoclue. By toggling the config off and on by: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.datetime automatic-timezone false $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.datetime automatic-timezone true I only get: > May 05 21:57:22 t14 geoclue[71430]: Failed to query location: No WiFi > networks found and nothing happens. By stopping the geoclue service and running it by hand with more debugging, I get more output including the exact location though. $ sudo systemctl stop geoclue.service $ sudo -H -u geoclue env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Geoclue /usr/libexec/geoclue | tee geoclue_debug.log (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Loading config: /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Using the default locate URL: Key file does not have key “url” in group “wifi” (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Using the default submission URL: Key file does not have key “submission-url” in group “wifi” (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: GeoClue configuration: (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Agents: (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: geoclue-demo-agent (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: gnome-shell (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: io.elementary.desktop.agent-geoclue2 (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: sm.puri.Phosh (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: lipstick (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Network NMEA source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Network NMEA socket: none (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: 3G source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: CDMA source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Modem GPS source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: WiFi source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: WiFi locate URL: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=<redacted> (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: WiFi submit URL: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v2/geosubmit?key=<redacted> (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: WiFi submit data: disabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: WiFi submission nickname: geoclue (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Static source: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Compass: enabled (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Application configs: (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: lipstick (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: firefox (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: no (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: epiphany (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: no (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: sm.puri.Phosh (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: io.elementary.desktop.agent-geoclue2 (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: org.gnome.Shell (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: gnome-color-panel (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: ID: gnome-datetime-panel (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Allowed: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: System: yes (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.239: Users: all (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.259: Cache miss for key (99, '', 0, 0, []) (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.263: Static source monitoring '/etc/geolocation', trying initial load (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.265: Failed to query location: Source is inactive (geoclue:87959): Geoclue-DEBUG: 22:00:05.269: WiFi device 'wlp2s0' added.
