Bug Description
* Impact
Disabling the location service in settings isn't reflection on traditional deb applications
* Test case
- Log in an Ubuntu desktop session
- install geoclue-2-demo
- go to gnome-control-
- $ /usr/libexec/
the script should return a permission error and not a location
* Regression potential
[racb] Users who are currently relying on a working location service despite having a setting disabling it will find that the location service will stop working because the setting will start to be honoured.
The change is in the client library, try a few applications, deb and snap or flatpak and make sure the status is correct respected
-------
Not sure if this is the right package, but in the privacy -> location settings, in 18.04 I had to have my application be approved by user to access location with Geoclue. Now it seems this is working without the location services "enabled"??
My application is repeater-START: https:/
Steps to see issue:
1) install Repeater-START and click the locate me button circle to the left. It goes to your rough location on map.
2) Go to settings, privacy, location, note that location is turned off!?

Thank you for your bug report, that seems similar to what is discussed in https:/ /gitlab. gnome.org/ GNOME/gnome- control- center/ -/issues/ 805 and a geoclue issue
