Description Rob 2017-07-20 00:24:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Running "dconf watch /" indicates that the setting "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-last-coordinates" is being updated once per second. Settings > Privacy > Location services is switched Off. This is causing excessive writes by dconf-service and is ignoring privacy settings. Editing the last-coordinates setting with dconf-editor results in the new value getting overwritten by my current location within 1 second. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Gnome 3.24.2 on Fedora 26


How reproducible: Every second on every login


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login with Gnome desktop environment
2. Run "dconf watch /"
3. "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-last-coordinates" setting will print once per second

Actual results:
"/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-last-coordinates" is updated once per second with my approximate latitude and longitude when location services are disabled.

Expected results:
"/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-last-coordinates" should not update my current lat/long when location services are disabled. It should update less frequently than once per second even when location services are enabled.

Sounds like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92798. Please follow up upstream.

Comment 2 Rui Matos 2017-07-21 10:10:58 UTC

Let's re-purpose this bug to track a fedora geoclue2 package update.

Comment 3 Rui Matos 2017-07-23 15:25:05 UTC

Can you test with these scratch build rpms: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=20696070 ?

Actually, please test this one instead: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=20696922

it's gnome-settings-daemon instead of geoclue2 as the geoclue maintainer says the application can already control this.

Comment 5 Rob 2017-07-23 20:16:26 UTC

Thanks for the quick response on this. 

The gnome-settings-daemon scratch build fixes the problem of constantly finding a new location. 

However, it still ignores that I have Gnome Settings > Privacy > Location Services turned off. If I set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color.night-light-last-coordinates to the default value or any other custom value, it overwrites this value with my current location whenever I log back in. 

Should I open a new bug report for this? Thanks

No, I filed one upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785342 . When it's pushed there I'll update the F26 package to include both fixes.
