I am running my Librem 5 on Byzantium, but after searching the forum posts, I cannot locate a good tutorial on how to activate location services and get GPS running.
I am not a Linux wonk, have no problems using Terminal and am not afraid to compile whatever code I may need if someone tells me how to get it.
Assistance???
(I don’t think a tutorial exists.)
First comment … get GNSS working first before you activate location services.
Second comment … verify whether GNSS is working or not. Maybe it is already working. So:
Step 1: Go outside and sudo cat /dev/gnss0 | grep -i -a gll
The seventh field is the status field. It should be A (valid). It could be V (invalid).
If you are getting V still after a few minutes then spend 20 minutes outside with a clear view of the sky.
