So I’ve looked around a bit about this issue to no avail and I’m wondering if someone might suggest a fix. When I try and set my location to ‘Sunrise and sunset at current location’ the application does not seem to return my location. I’ve tried to using the ‘where-am-i’ demo in console to see if i get any results and its still not returning anything.
Maybe your distribution is still defaulting to the now defunct Mozilla location service. In that case you can change /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf to point url to BeaconDB, like so:
url=https://api.beacondb.net/v1/geolocate.
BeaconDB is an open-source replacement that is based on user-submitted scans of nearby WiFi networks, mobile networks etc. If there is no data for your area, you can easily fix that by running NeoStumbler on your phone for a few minutes, but many regions are already covered well.
That was it thanks!!

This now 404s. Is there no other service that can be substituted here?
The endpoint does not support GET requests (like what a browser would send). How did you get the 404?
Ah..I was using a browser to check it. Anyhow when I use it and set the day night to automatic, it just detects my location along the international date line instead of the actual.
