Fedora needs to make a decision, otherwise geolocation would remain broken. The original announcement: https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065 Related discussions: * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2959 * https://mastodon.social/@nekohayo/112091520931028653 Arch Linux has chosen to use Google's Geolocation API by default: * https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/geoclue/-/issues/1 * https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/geoclue/-/commit/561b66e7e965f5a2e9f5b0597367243d43bbfa0f Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A
Another discussion (in Japanese) at https://mls.js2hgw.com/wiki/?Mozilla+Location+Service+%E3%81%AE%E5%BE%8C%E7%B6%99%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%82%B9%E6%A4%9C%E8%A8%8E It's from 楽天モバイル 電測 ("Rakuten Mobile Densoku"), which seems to be an unofficial project to map out Rakuten Mobile (a Japanese MNO) cell towers.
journal is being filled up with: `geoclue[2128]: Failed to query location: Query location SOUP error: Not Found` every 5 minutes. Patch seems to be already merged upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/177
(In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #2) > journal is being filled up with: > `geoclue[2128]: Failed to query location: Query location SOUP error: Not > Found` > every 5 minutes. > > Patch seems to be already merged upstream: > https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/177 I just wanted to add that the upstream patch does not fix the underlying issue, it only removes the Mozilla geolocation lookups. So in practice this leaves the system in a state with no working geolocation. This is the current situation, geolocation is non-functional at the moment.
Can Fedora switch to beaconDB? This should be done in coordination with the beaconDB maintainer. See also: https://konstantintutsch.com/blog/beacondb-geolocation-on-linux-gnome/#the-fix%2C-at-least-with-gnome-via-geoclue I tested this configuration change on Fedora Desktop and GNOME Maps can locate my laptop again. See also: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/192#note_2702872
I tested beaconDB on my Fedora laptop, and it works pretty well. I followed the instructions under "geoclue" on this page: https://beacondb.net/.
