Status:Closed as duplicate Resolved:No
Product:Mac OSX Product Version:10.7.3
Classification:Crash Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: 

Location services appear to be broken, because they can't be turned on. Whenever they are turned on by checking the tickbox "Enable Location Services" in system settings under Security & Privacy, everything appears to be working. But when I come back to Security & Privacy settings, the tickbox is not checked and an exception is logged in system console.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to system settings
2. Click on Security & Privacy
3. Enable location services by ticking the checkbox
4. Leave Security & Privacy settings
5. Go back to Security & Privacy settings. Location services are still disabled, even tough we checked them earlier on

Expected Results:

Location services should be turned on after ticking the checkbox

Actual Results:

Location services are still disabled

Regression:

Notes:

Everytime location services tickbox is checked, an exception is logged in the system console:
