Redshift - Enable location services on ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I have a problem with Redshift. It doesn't get the location from my geolocation provider 'geoclue'. The problem was more noticeable when I tried to use Maps app which said I should enable location services in order to be located. I just can't find any settings regarding this. Anyone? Thanks

P.S. Clicking on button "Location Settings" does nothing

location

  1. From the terminal try:

    redshift -l list

    You should see: geoclue2

    Try changing location provider to geoclue2

    If you have redshift config file under ~/.config/redshift.conf this can be changed there.

  2. I use Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 but should work the same:
    Settings > Privacy > Location services > on
    works for me, although the location accuracy is not perfect!
