I know this an unimportant issue, but I’ve turned on location sharing in Firefox and Chromium, and for some reason neither will allow Hulu to work. So when i go to system setting and into the privacy tab, it says no apps have requested permission to see my location. I don’t know if this is an OS issue or a Budgie issue, but I was hoping someone could help provide me with some insight. So far this is the only issue I’ve had using Endeavour, and it’s not even that serious since I also have a tablet and two other laptops with different Linux OS’s on them that work fine for me to watch Hulu.
Thanks!
Hi, welcome to forum! 
Since you mention Hulu, there’s a relevant portion here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Geolocation_does_not_work
Sadly, Mozilla Location Service has been shut down.
The other option is to rely on Google Maps API, which is free for upto 10k calls/mo. You’ll need to sign up for an API Key, and thus, do note that you’ll have to agree to whatever terms of service Google presents.
You can look for other geolocation services; sadly I’m not aware of any.
Once you know which geolocation service to use, you should go to about:config
in Firefox (type it in your URL bar). Change geo.provider.network.url
to your location api.
In Mint, for example, they use
https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_LOCATION_SERVICE_API_KEY%
for the geo.provider.network.url
. But don’t ask me where %GOOGLE_LOCATION_SERVICE_API_KEY%
comes from.
(Without telling me. Hmmm.)
Just quickly cross-checked with an EOS machine here, seems the same:
That is interesting. Where does the %GOOGLE_LOCATION_SERVICE_API_KEY%
come from indeed?
And what are the other geo location services that can be used instead of Google Location?
