Debian 11 (Bullseye) / Linux version 5.9.0-4-amd64 - Gnome-Maps won't start.
by EuanT from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5P8YZ)
On invoking Maps from the gdm3 GUI, the rotating circle icon runs for about 10 seconds, disappears and then nothing happens. I started tail -f /var/log/syslog > myfile on the CLI and invoked MAPS from GUI and this is what I got, though I can't make head or tail of it:

WTF! An older laptop running Buster (Debian 10) runs MAPS OK from gdm3. I also downloaded MAPS to my RasPi as a for instance and that also works fine. No need to drop everything, this is not a big issue, but it would be nice to have it working. Any suggestions / hints much appreciated.
Cheers.
