GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781163
Disabling Location in settings/privacy does not stop the location indicator from showing in panel
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:33:40 UTC
Disabling Location in settings/privacy should stop all location functions and the icon should no longer display in the top panel.
Created attachment 349644 [details] Screenshot 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
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.
