[SOLVED] Librem 5: gnome-maps stopped working after upgrade to PureOS 11

Software PureOS
1

Hi,

gnome-maps window doesn’t show up after starting the program, right after the upgrade to PureOS 11 Crimson. /dev/gnss0 does work, as far as I can judge (I can cat /dev/gnss0 as usual).

$ ps ax | grep maps

2142 ? Ssl 0:08 /usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-maps/org.gnome.Maps --gapplication-service

System log:

Did anyone experience this? Is it possible to make it work?

No, GNOME Maps works fine on crimson. Did your upgrade complete correctly? What does sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade say? Anything interesting in /var/log/dpkg.log?

I don’t know, nothing unusual, the OS was updated successfully.

Try recompiling gsettings schemas:

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Also, verify whether you don’t have any leftovers from, say, attempting to install a self-compiled version in the past, in /usr/local or ~/.local, as this could be a potential reason for this error that comes to my mind.

Okay, sorry for the noise, this is my fault: the old schema was located in /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas – remains of my very old experiments :see_no_evil_monkey:

Thank you @dos anyway!
