First of all, my system is up to date and I did some research beforehand.
I have been contributing to the BeaconDB database for some time to improve geolocation services since the demise of MLS, but when I visited the Beacon website, I saw that it could be set as the default on Linux systems: interesting! Then I tried to follow the instructions, but it doesn't work with Solus.
Here are the official steps on the Beacon website:
`sudo mkdir /etc/geoclue/conf.d
sudo tee > /etc/geoclue/conf.d/99-beacondb.conf <<EOF
[wifi]
enable=true
url=https://api.beacondb.net/v1/geolocate
#submit data, only possible with a GPS antenna
submit-data=true
submission-url=https://api.beacondb.net/v2/geosubmit
submission-nick=geoclue
EOF
sudo systemctl restart geoclue`
Except that there is no geoclue folder in /etc/, even though I found a geoclue.conf file in /usr/share/defaults/geoclue/ and I don't know how to edit it. I also read that starting with version 2.8.0 of geoclue, BeaconDB was used by default, except that online I find that Solus uses lower versions... Finally, I would at least like to be able to configure report submissions to Beacon every time I make a GPS query.
So, to clarify my request: How do I configure BeaconDB to be used by default on Solus with Geoclue, or at least allow submissions?
Thank you in advance for your help and patience! 🙂
