Public bug reported: Location was not working on my newly acquired Meizu pro 5.
I went to system-settings -> Security & Privacy -> Location and switched on the GPS. But then, when navigating back to the Security & Privacy page, the location was shown as off (and indeed, there was no location icon in the indicator). I've repeated it several times, also exiting from the system-settings to make sure it was not a problem in the client, but that didn't help: the settings was always being reset to "off". I also run "dbus-monitor --session" on the terminal and I could see that there was some activity around the location (see the attachment). I eventually stopped the ubuntu-location-service service and restarted it, and things started working. ** Affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: location-service (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Output of dbus-monitor" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646388/+attachment/4785634/+files/dbus-system-session.log ** Also affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to location-service in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646388 Title: Cannot turn on location: it switches back to off by itself Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in location-service package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Location was not working on my newly acquired Meizu pro 5.
