Thank you @Fred and @valent! This has been bugging me for ages. Though I lived with it by hardcoding my location, it was still really annoying when traveling.
I prepared a debdiff for saucy adding a dependency on geoclue-hostip. But I also took a look for geoclue-ubuntu-geoip bugs and sure enough, I found LP bug 1239082 which seems to confirm that it is broken in general. So I'll upload this first debdiff, as adding a dependency on geoclue- hostip does solve the problem alone, and perhaps the ubuntu-geoip provider will be fixed later. ** Patch added: "redshift.saucy.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/redshift/+bug/868904/+attachment/3879553/+files/redshift.saucy.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868904 Title: Redshift fails to start with session due to geoclue failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/redshift/+bug/868904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
