<div dir="ltr">where-am-i worked for me, it was in the geoclue-2.0 package here. It appears that geoclue-test-gui is for the older package. QtPositioning uses DBus to communicate, but I wonder if there was a change in DBus calls from v0.1.2 to 2.0+? At any rate, since we support multiple Operating Systems, we can't rely on geoclue directly we have to use QtPositioning, but if it's broken in 5.9 still then we have to delay until it is fixed.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 10:46 AM, Valentin Boettcher <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:valentin@boettcher.cf" target="_blank">valentin@boettcher.cf</a>></span> wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi.<br />

It may be, that my system differs from yours, bit I geoclue working.<br />
<br />
I would suggest, that you take the same steps as I did and try to build<br />
it from source. They also have a demo `where-am-i` in the demo folders<br />
which produced the following output for me:<br />

It seems that QT uses an older version of the library, but it is really<br />
quite simple to use it directly, though annoying for portability<br />
reasons.<br />
<br />
Well, however:<br />
<a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/GeoClue/#index4h1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.freedesktop.org/wi<wbr />ki/Software/GeoClue/#index4h1</a> is the key.<br />
<br />
I'll have to test QT Location services.<br />
<br />
Cheers.<br />
