Bug Description

On this system [1], installed with --bootstrap, I allowed all location related bits as prompted.

But, when I looked in a scope (for example NearBy), I found that the scope did not have a location and that the Enable Location settings normally present in scopes was not present.

On reboot, everything worked as expected.

Hey Kyle, after allowing location, how long did you wait until refreshing the scope?

It can sometimes take upwards of 10s from allowing location access for the scope to start receiving any location data (hence, until then, you won't see the "Enable Location" setting either).

Alright, ignore my last comment. Unfortunately we couldn't truly test how this new feature would act on a real first boot (post setup wizard, etc). Something does seem wrong here.

This seems to be a system issue with GPS, location is not available to any apps (I've tried uNav and Here maps) until you reboot after the wizard; dmesg shows this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17685029/

I just confirmed with tvoss this is a known issue.
