      Hello,
      I installed Ubuntu Touch on my redmi note 7. Everything works fine except the gps. When I run the test_gps command, the response is 'Ggps interface not found'. Location is ON. I waited hours inside outside, reboot several time, reinstalled everything.
      Then I thought that maybe the internal gps was broken. I reinstalled lineagesos with gapps. And I managed to get a Fix.
      After reinstalling UT, again, nothing.

      I am open to any suggestions.
      Thank's for your help

        @ml99 Weird, it works well on my RN7.
        Is there a firmware issue?
        Try to run the installer again using the appropriate vendor.img (the one that the installer gives you)

        Then it should be fine...

          @stanwood Thanks a lot, unfortunately, I did reinstall, with the image of the installer (vendor.img lavender). Do you have the global version ?

            @ml99 If I well remember it was provided with the global version indeed.
            But I bought it with UT already installed....

              @stanwood Lucky you, I see that someone just posted the same problem in the pixel forum "GPS interface not found". Curious to see if it will be resolved.

                Good news, I finally make it work. This old trade from a nexus 5 did the trick.

                1- Before restarting, turn on Wi-Fi and Location detection
                2- Restart
                3- Run sudo restart ubuntu-location-service from the terminal
                4- Open the SensorsStatus app and navigate to the GPS screen
                5- Wait until the GPS starts working

                  I forgot to mention that I changed to the developer channel. I'm not sure which of these changes was the most effective.
