Hello everybody!

I've get the following error (already mentioned above):

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ test_ubuntu_app_api_location_service 
E1005 14:19:23.096575 25459 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria
ua_location_service_create_session_for_high_accuracy: Error creating instance: virtual com::ubuntu::location::service::session::Interface::Ptr com::ubuntu::location::service::Stub::create_session_for_criteria(const com::ubuntu::location::Criteria&): com.ubuntu.location.Service.Error.CreatingSession: Error creating session

For me it does not depend on the uptime or something... (It simply never works ;) [devel channel]) 
But GPS itself seems to work(?):

So it seems to be a problem with the location-service itself(?). Or am I getting something wrong?

Title:
  GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239

  None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM
  Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's GPS. The
  SensorStatus app actually reports "Found supported backend", but finds
  no position or other GPS data.

  Location detection on the other hand is doing something, but it is
  really far off when it comes to determining the actual location of the
  device. The Weather app suggests my location as Vänsjö, Jämtland,
  which is about 400 km north of Stockholm where I am at. OSM Touch
  reports "no location available" and Google maps "Your location could
  not be determined"

  I don't know if the GPS has to "waken up" somehow, but it has not
  shown any form of life for me on Ubuntu Touch, even though it works
  perfectly fine when booting the phone as Android.
