„I let upstart start the location service with gps::Provider as the only
provider“ as described in #11 – I have commented lines in /etc/init
/ubuntu-location-service.override and restarted the service, so I got:

# ps aux | grep [g]ps
root      7065  0.1  0.5 151508 10048 ?        Ssl  17:05   0:00 /usr/bin/ubuntu-location-serviced --bus system --provider gps::Provider

But GPS is still not working.

In the log file, I found an error:

# cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.INFO

I also agree that GPS is very important function. I love Ubuntu because
it brings real GNU/Linux to my phone, so I can do almost anything (e.g.
run SQL database or even GlassFish in my pocket device), but if
navigation is not working, I can't use it as a smartphone.

Where can I find more log files or debug it?

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.
