Using the: $ gsettings set com.ubuntu.geoip geoip-url https://freegeoip.net/xml/
Appears to work well enough after initial testing. 1) $ gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-auto-detected-location true shows my correct location 2) apt install geoclue-examples and then geoclue-test-gui . . . seems to show correct information, as well. The freegeoip service appears to be well-maintained. Perhaps this is a service that canonical / ubuntu could move to / could support, as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617535 Title: geoip.ubuntu.com does not utilize HTTPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-geoip/+bug/1617535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
