Can we move this forward please?

Thank you! I'd also very much like to see this moved forward. But there seem to be a conflict introduced since submitting the pull request. Maybe author needs to resolve it before maintainer can merge.

Ha yes it is due to the mass rebuild, I rebased it.

If anybody has an RPM I'll be happy to test it out.

churchyard commented 5 years ago

Simple Koji Ci results are on the right here. Get RPM from there. Those would be f29 RPMs. If they are uninstallable, I'll be happy to make a f28 scratchbuild.

Any ideas? I did systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl stop geoclue && systemctl start geoclue.

zeenix commented 5 years ago

Hi, can you please check your logs to see any messages from geoclue? If there aren't any, see if you can start geoclue manually as 'geoclue' user with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Gecolue env.

akostadi commented 5 years ago

I now understand there is a geoclue agent that needs to be started by user. I killed existing copy and started a new one. I think it is working now:

$ ps -ef | grep geo
$ /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent & disown
$ ps -ef | grep geo
user   14166  8553  0 15:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent
$ redshift
Trying location provider `geoclue2'...
Using provider `geoclue2'.
Using method `randr'.

One issue is that agent asks every time whether to allow redshift to use location instead of remembering the choice. Another thing is that if I'm slow to allow usage, then redshift dies.

IMO there is more work needed to make interaction between redshift an geoclue nicer. But this patch is big step in the right direction.

Thank you.

zeenix commented 5 years ago

@akostadi No, the agent should not need to be started manually but if starting it manually fixes the issue, then you've found the problem.

The agent in question wasn't originally meant for anything more than a simple demo but since no OS other than GNOME implemented an agent, we decided to make that the agent for non-GNOME for now.

akostadi commented 5 years ago

@zeenix , I'm running XFCE and agent starts automatically. I just needed to restart it apparently for the RPM update to take place without restart.

In the log above I made sure to start the agent without having geoclue process running. As far as I understood the issue was when agent started before geoclue.

It would be really helpful if agent writes to some place in user home to remember allow/deny user decisions.

@akostadi launching the agent should actually automatically launch the service. Is the dbus autolaunch not working on your system for some reason?

About agent remembering the user's choice, I agree that a real agent really should but this is just a work around. XFCE, KDE and others really should provide an agent if they care at all about user's privacy. geoclue2 has been around for many years now.

@zeenix , actually it works. I think I demonstrated in log that only agent is running when I ran redshift. Thank you for eplanation.

wrt agents, why every DE should implement an agent when one agent in project can cover them all?

@akostadi Great.

About agents, it's because it needs proper integration with/from the desktop. Just showing a yes/no notification is not enough. The agent has to provide a UI to enable/disable geolocation globally and per-app bases, which includes (temporary) revocation of location access for apps after the app has been given access before.
