Description Greg 2017-04-10 23:34:59 UTC
Disabling Location in settings/privacy should stop all location functions and the icon should no longer display in the top panel.

Screenshot showing the Location-indicator being displayed in the top panel even though Location Services is disabled. How do I get the Location-indicator to go away and not show itself?

Duplicate of bug#778691 perhaps? Do you have geoclue 2.4.6 on your machine?

I'm experiencing the same problem (both in Opensuse Tumbleweed, gnome 3.24, and in Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, gnome 3.24). It seems that changing settings from the Privacy control panel applet tries to query a PermissionStore db that should be found in  Flatpak, but this call fails:

method call time=1492173077.211762 sender=:1.174 -> destination=:1.31 serial=26 path=/org/freedesktop/impl/portal/PermissionStore; interface=org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore; member=Lookup
   string "gnome"
   string "geolocation"
error time=1492173077.214815 sender=:1.31 -> destination=:1.174 error_name=org.freedesktop.portal.Error.NotFound reply_serial=26
   string "No entry for geolocation"

Note: I've also checked .local/share/flatpak/db but there aren't any file in that directory

I think https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785342 will fix this
Comment 5 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:33:40 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
