Leenata Bankhele: Thanks very much for your response. I'm sorry but I should have mentioned in my earlier post that I had fixed the bug in master-provider.c (+125) after reading about it in an earlier post on this list. Right now, the client (master-pos-example) doesn't crash but says "No provider available" (while infact Gypsy is). Also, as indicated in the debug output in my last post, it seems to make an attempt to start up Gypsy, but doesn't go all the way with it. I have also set up the GPSDevice property using gconftool as required. (Further, as I mentioned, position-example works fine with Gypsy, so gypsy-daemon is doing what its supposed to do.) I'm not sure about whats going wrong. Does there need to be a .conf file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d ? I don't currently have any geoclue specific .conf files in there. As I understand, it sets up the security policies with respect to D-bus interfaces. (However, I was running the above examples as root, so, I wonder if the absence of a .conf file still matters or not). Also, if the master-provider finds 2 providers matching the set requirements with one having the ability to output more accurate information, if that top provider fails to function for some reason (like for Gypsy, if the GPS device is not connected / doesn't have a fix) will it pick the 2nd provider to provide a faster response? I would appreciate any advice/suggestions.

I have built and set up geoclue 0.11. I am trying to run the "master-pos-example" example client. I ran geoclue-master manually in a separate window and captured the following debug output: ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: 1 position providers matching requirements found, now choosing current provider ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: connecting to 'Gypsy' accuracy-changed and status-changed ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: choosing best provider ** (process:17283): DEBUG:         ...trying provider Gypsy ** (process:17283): DEBUG: Gypsy: Updating cache ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: provider Gypsy status changed: 2 ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: Gypsy accuracy changed (0) ** (process:17283): DEBUG:         ...but provider choice in progress ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: provider Gypsy status changed: 0 ** (process:17283): DEBUG:         ...started Gypsy (status 0), re-starting provider selection ** (process:17283): DEBUG: Gypsy without clients ** (process:17283): DEBUG: client: position provider changed (to NULL) === and the example client's output is "No provider available" For some reason it is unable to start up and run the gypsy provider. I have gypsy installed and also have the gypsy-daemon running. When I run "position-example" for Gypsy it works fine and I see position change notifications. But the master provider seems not to work. Also, I modified the master-pos-example code and changed the provider requirements to accept an accuracy of "GEOCLUE_ACCURACY_LEVEL_DETAILED" and set require_updates to FALSE. Now, in the debug outs I was able to see that although it found plazes, hostip and gypsy as candidate providers, it only attempted to load gypsy and failed in the same manner as above. (also without attempting to load any of the other alternative providers) What seems to be the issue? I also wanted to clarify a couple of other things. If I need to use gypsy with geoclue, I need to manually invoke the gypsy-daemon right? It seems like the main advantage of using geoclue as the front-end to gypsy is the ability to use the master provider. Is that correct? Thanks. </div></div> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
