Public bug reported: [Impact]
* Lubuntu currently uses ipapi.co for GeoIP services. * ipapi.co is not controlled by us, and could become obsolete in the future. * Canonical already provides this service, so we should move to use this instead. [Test Case] 1. With a Lubuntu 20.04 LTS daily ISO, install the package from focal-proposed. 2. Ensure that your current timezone is correctly identified and selected. [Regression Potential] * Any underlying regressions to the XML library could affect this change. * If Canonical's GeoIP service goes down, the default location is New York. This provides a clear fallback. * Edge cases with Canonical's GeoIP service might occur, but should be addressed with the service itself and not our settings. ** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: In Progress ** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Medium Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Fix Committed ** Also affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899854 Title: [SRU] Move to Canonical's GeoIP Service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares-settings-ubuntu/+bug/1899854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
