Hi , @When I run "position-example" for Gypsy it works fine and I see position change notifications. But the master provider seems not to work.  -- Try changing GEOCLUE_PROVIDER (priv->address) to GEOCLUE_PROVIDER (priv->position) in gc_master_provider_get_provider() in master provider.c +125 See if this works for you. @I need to manually invoke the gypsy-daemon right? -- Geoclue documentation says this is required for older version of DBus. @It seems like the main advantage of using geoclue as the front-end to gypsy is the ability to use the master provider. -- master provider will choose the right provider from the available one's based on your  set requirements API.

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
