** Description changed: - When selecting financial mode, the currency conversion (for any - currency) is not done. + [ Impact ] - We have reinstalled, purged and reinstalled, but the problem remains. - This is new since upgrading to 24.04. + When trying to perform currency conversion in gnome-calculator, the + values remain unchanged instead. - As a test, we installed mate-calc, which has the exact same problem. + The HTTP endpoint that gnome-calculator uses to fetch up-to-date + currency conversion rates has started requiring a valid User-Agent. + gnome-calculator wasn't setting any user agent, so it now fails to + download the data. - Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - gnome-calculator: 46.1 - x11 + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Open "Calculator" + 2. Select "Financial" mode from the top-center menu + 3. Verify that the currency conversion section is visible + 4. Select two currencies like "Euro" and "US Dollar" + 5. Insert a number + 6. Verify that the conversion was performed and the result is visible + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch both adds a user agent string, and changes the HTTP end-point + to one hosted by GNOME (which I believe just acts as a proxy) to avoid + the same class of problems in the future.
