I've just upgraded to 15.10 and experienced this, adding the stanza
above fixed it.

Below is  /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf from before I edited it -


# Configuration file for Geoclue

# Agent configuration options
[agent]

# Whitelist of desktop IDs (without .desktop part) of all agents we recognise,
# separated by a ';'.
whitelist=gnome-shell

# WiFi source configuration options
[wifi]

# URL to the wifi geolocation service. The key can currenty be anything, just
# needs to be present but that is likely going to change in future.
url=https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=geoclue

# To use the Google geolocation service instead of mozilla's, simply uncomment
# this url while changing API_KEY to your Google API key and comment out or
# remove the url above.

# each time it gets a GPS lock.

  is available

  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu GeoIP:
  Confirmed
Status in redshift package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-geoip package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Since switching to oneiric redshift won't start.  It is listed as a
  startup application and these lines are present in .xsession-error
  from it:

      Unable to get location from provider.
      Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
     Using provider `geoclue'.

  There is also no process in a ps listing.  If I start it from the
  command prompt then it starts just fine often with substantially
  similar messages.
