joostruisStill have this question open. Why does <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/COSMIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COSMIC</a> require <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> <a href="https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay/issues/8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay/issues/8</a>This needs to be optional IMHO.

Jakob Thoböll - R.I.P. NatenomDo you have a recommendation for a <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> tool to navigate a heavy <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/truck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truck</a> (no "normal" car!) via <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/gps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gps</a> offline? I tried <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/pureMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pureMaps</a> but miss the adjustment for car size parameters. GPS can be provided via <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> or <a href="https://kirche.social/tags/gpsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gpsd</a> sufficiently. I just need map display and route planning - ideally an option which is aware of obstacles like low bridges and weight limits on particular roads and show alerts. In case it matters: I will be on german roads.

Elias Probst<a href="https://mastodon.social/@janvlug" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@janvlug</a> I just hope, that at some point, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeoClue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeoClue</a> will add <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iwd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iwd</a> support. I don't want to give up the quick reconnect capabilities of iwd, but also would love to play with a <a href="https://mapstodon.space/@beacondb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@beacondb</a> -based GeoClue.Maybe I'll give <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wpa_supplicant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wpa_supplicant</a> another try...

Jan VlugRead this very interesting blog about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/location" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#location</a> services in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>.

tpikonenI just tagged version 0.2.0 of OLS, my experimental local <a href="https://floss.social/tags/location" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#location</a> server.

Chaotic HumanAll apps having <a href="https://layer8.space/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> as dependency, including gnome-clocks, gnome-calendar, etc. by the way still work without geoclue being enabled.

Chaotic HumanSo I just found out that there is a geolocation-package for Gnome named <a href="https://layer8.space/tags/geoclue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geoclue</a> which is a dependency not just for gnome-clocks, etc. but even for the gnome-settings-daemon and therefore unfortunately can't be uninstalled without factually breaking the Gnome-desktop however it's atleast still possible to disable it by running "sudo systemctl disable geoclue.service" and "sudo systemctl mask geoclue.service". I would recommend doing that for privacy reasons if you don't use geolocation.
