I noticed this a few weeks ago and it has not been rectified. I have asked the osmtouch developers if they know about it https://answers.launchpad.net/osmtouch/+question/254334
Digging into it today I found the following after running OSM Touch and touching the location detection arrow :- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.WARNING Log file created at: 2014/09/11 15:24:31 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0911 15:24:31.517678 2420 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria E0912 08:52:39.514560 2419 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria So it seems like a permissions issue? Also, going back to the start of the warnings:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140809-134227.916 Log file created at: 2014/08/09 13:42:27 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg W0809 13:42:27.226502 916 ofono_nm_connectivity_manager.cpp:171] Exception while creating connected radio cell: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetProperties" with signature "" on interface "org.ofono.NetworkRegistration" doesn't exist All warnings are the same as above until:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140822-100144.924 Log file created at: 2014/08/22 10:01:44 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0822 10:01:44.903519 1942 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria Then:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140827-070346.912 Log file created at: 2014/08/27 07:03:46 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0827 07:03:46.443877 912 ofono_nm_connectivity_manager.cpp:141] Error while setting up access to radio and network stack: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Then the rest are the permissions errors with one more of the "Error wile setting up access" errors. And for reference:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 203 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/utopic last update: 2014-08-22 07:57:57 version version: 203 version ubuntu: 20140821.1 version device: 20140811.1 last update: 2014-08-22 07:57:57 corresponds to the start of the permissions errors. Also, thinking back, location detection was definitely working on 1st of July which was prior to me upgrading to utopic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368647 Title: GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location-service/+bug/1368647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
