(not directly related to bug, but a workaround since the indicator is a bit buggy in vivid, and this bug seems to represent the problem well) Thought others may be interested in this script: #!/usr/bin/python3 import subprocess import json tz = [ America/Los_Angeles Los Angeles, America/Denver Denver, America/Sao_Paulo São_Paulo, UTC UTC, Europe/London London, Asia/Kolkata India ] subprocess.check_call( [gsettings, set, com.canonical.indicator.datetime, locations, json.dumps(tz)]) Simply customize, run and it should fix up timezones for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455223 Title: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtimezonemap/+bug/1455223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The internet access makes sense in the ubiquity installer because you can assume the machine is not configured yet, that's not the case in settings so I think using the offline datas would be fine there -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455223 Title: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtimezonemap/+bug/1455223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1455223] Re: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline
When I designed this, I didn't know it was going to be implemented by accessing the Internet -- though I might have guessed by re-reading the equivalent part of the Ubuntu installer spec. https://goo.gl/terpNZ So, add ubiquity to the list of callsites for that API. If I'd known it was going to access the Internet, I would have specified progress, error, and offline feedback. So, why does it use the Internet? What are some concrete examples of places that people would expect to show up, that wouldn't show up, if we relied entirely on an offline list? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455223 Title: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtimezonemap/+bug/1455223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1455223] Re: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline
FYI we have this information locally in libtimezonemap already and an algorithm specified for querying this for ubuntu-system-settings (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Choosing_locations - scroll down a bit Whenever). I think it might make sense for libtimezonemap to implement this algorithm itself, then the three locations that need it that I know of (two in unity-control-center datetime, one in ubuntu-system-settings) could all call the same API. Maybe there were good reasons for using the server (such as localised search?) that we don't know about atm. Would need to investigate. ** Also affects: libtimezonemap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455223 Title: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtimezonemap/+bug/1455223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
