if you visit this site in Rpi, it will not get the location, however this site work on the same subnet on a chrome browser. any ideas?

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

Not sure. Just in case, try disabling uBlock. But I suspect the problem may be on our end and related to the api keys we use.

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign thank you, will give it a go when I get back

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign are we talking about the same thing? Visiting that page requires browser to share location, does it needs API?

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

It needs the API since it uses google's location services

After 10 minutes of clicking trying to get our own keys, I finally got to the point where it tells you geolocation requests cost money.

$5 per 1k requests or $4 if it's over 100k requests per month.

Very generous of Canonical to include that in their builds and explains why they ask other distributions not to use them.

you are fast! Kudos!

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately, I think that means the answer is that geolocation is just not going to work in our builds. I have no idea how many requests we'd need to pay for or who else might use the keys.

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign as long as we are able to input our own keys, it should be fine?

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

Yeah, but that just means somebody else is paying for it. Or maybe Canonical have a deal with Google. Either way, I wouldn't publicise instructions on how to do it and what keys to use for that reason.

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign I cant find the path in a raspberry pi 4 setup , i am talking about the browser?

On Chromium OS to specify the keys as environment variables append them to the end of /etc/chrome_dev.conf: GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

I think I have to close this now. The answer is that we don't support geolocation right now.

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign in raspberry pi 4 there is no such location and file?

/etc/chrome_dev.conf

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign any ideas

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

AFAIK /etc/chrome_dev.conf is a Chrome/ChromiumOS thing.

Like I said, we don't support geolocation and I'm not comfortable providing instructions for stealing keys from somebody who pays for the service.

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign who tells you about stealing keys? I needed my chromium browser to have the geolocation to work with selium to grab the current location

SG-aniki commented 4 years ago

@XECDesign i got a google dev account with my own api key, i need the location for chromium browser to work correctly for my python script to grab current location

XECDesign commented 4 years ago

Chromium's own documentation covers this in detail.
