Location.Latitude / .Longitude / .Altitude Not Working

Have an app with 3 text boxes set to:

  • Box 1: Location.Latitude
  • Box 2: Location.Longitude
  • Box 3: Location.Altitude

I'm working in Firefox on Ubuntu 16.04 with no issues last night. Today I cannot get these functions to work in ANY apps on this computer; text boxes are blank and will not populate.

 

So far I have:

  • Restarted PowerApps
  • Restarted Browser

 

These functions are working with other apps on Windows 8/Chrome.

 

Any ideas?

    ...following up on this. To ensure my laptop's lat/long sensors are still working I installed the `whereami` package and it shows my lat/long without issue.

     

    How did PowerApps lose the ability to display my lat/long?

    How do I reenable it?

     

    user5@system5:~$ npm install -g @rafaelrinaldi/whereami
