[Bug 16285] Re: Wrong timezone location for ex-YU Europe countries in Time Date settings
A very similar bug was fixed in the Clock applet a while back http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 -- basically, the code would guess your location based on latitude and longitude, and map to a fairly random location from its database. I'm guessing a similar fix should be applied for the time-admin component (and/or down the line, this sort of logic should be centralized into a single module or library). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #519823 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 ** Summary changed: - Wrong timezone location for ex-YU Europe countries in Time Date settings + time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations) ** Description changed: - Everytime I set my timezone Europe/Belgrade, click ok and return to the - settings, Europe/Sarajevo shows instead. - I tried with different cities - Zagreb, Ljubljana, Skopje - they all disappear - after window closes and Europe/Sarajevo returns.

I'm having a similar problem here in England and Kubuntu 7.04. Even though /etc/timezone shows Europe/London, System Settings:Date Time shows my local timezone as Europe/Guernsey (BST). Going into admin mode and changing it has no effect. -- Wrong timezone location for ex-YU Europe countries in Time Date settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Setting TimeZone to Ljubljana in Gnome desktop, System menu, Time and Date is ignored and sets it to Sarajevo.

On an updated Dapper install, I can observe the same behavior. Setting the timezone to Europe/Belgrade does not stick. The next time I open the Adjust Date Time option in the clock on the desktop, the TimeZone is set to Europe/Sarajevo.
