I can confirm this still happens with gnome-shell 3.24.1-0ubuntu1. It appears that you can stop this from happening by blocking gnome- color-panel in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf:
[gnome-color-panel] allowed=false system=true users= Just to add some confusion, it appears that GDM sometimes starts using geoclue which then makes then location icon appear in the user's desktop once logged in. But that is presumably something that should be logged seperately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682167 Title: location services says it is in use even though it is disabled and nothing is using it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1682167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
