indicator-datetime doesn’t get geoclue information from ubuntu-geoip-provider

[Johan Kiviniemi]

The datetime indicator doesn’t have the “Change timezone…” menu item even when a wrong timezone is set.

geoclue-master prints the following when started:

% killall geoclue-master; /usr/lib/geoclue/geoclue-master
Master options:
Found providers:
  ubuntu-geoip.provider
** (process:16490): DEBUG: Ubuntu GeoIP: Updating cache
** (process:16490): DEBUG: deinited Ubuntu GeoIP
** (process:16490): DEBUG: client: 1 address providers matching requirements found, now choosing current provider
** (process:16490): DEBUG: client: connecting to 'Ubuntu GeoIP' accuracy-changed and status-changed
** (process:16490): DEBUG: client: choosing best provider
** (process:16490): DEBUG: ...trying provider Ubuntu GeoIP
** (process:16490): DEBUG: Ubuntu GeoIP without clients
** (process:16490): DEBUG: client: address provider changed (to NULL)

Judging from the process list, ubuntu-geoip-provider starts and quits immediately when geoclue-master starts.

indicator-datetime-service prints following when started:

% killall indicator-datetime-service; /usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service

Running ubuntu-geoip-provider manually prints the following (correct) information but doesn’t result in the menu item appearing:

% /usr/lib/ubuntu-geoip/ubuntu-geoip-provider
** (process:16746): DEBUG: Network connected
** (process:16746): DEBUG: Message Finished

** (process:16746): DEBUG: Message Complete

Running ubuntu-geoip-provider and starting geoclue-master immediately after that results in the menu item showing up some times:

% killall geoclue-master; /usr/lib/ubuntu-geoip/ubuntu-geoip-provider & /usr/lib/geoclue/geoclue-master

ubuntu-geoip-provider is no longer running at that point but the correct menu item is there. The output from indicator-datetime-service at that point:
