Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
In some cases (such as bug #199582), one may wish to pick a location for weather and specify a different timezone than the one autopopulated by the location tool. In that case, gnome-panel will override the location code used for weather with the one corresponding to the city of the *timezone*, not the location code matching the city originally selected! Here is a result after choosing North America -> US -> Oregon -> Portland -> HIllsboro Airport from the chooser: $ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities [<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Vancouver" latitude="45.548054" longitude="-122.954445" code="KHIO" current="true"/>] And here is the setting after manually changing the timezone to the correct value through the UI by typing out the timezone name: $ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities [<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Los_Angeles" latitude="45.548054" longitude="-122.954445" code="CYVR" current="true"/>] And again, here is the value if I select the timezone from the pulldown list: $ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities [<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Los_Angeles" latitude="45.548054" longitude="-122.954445" code="KCQT" current="true"/>] The METAR code should only be updated when changing the location, not when changing the timezone. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- changing timezone for a city overrides the weather code https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200911 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
