Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
To reproduce:
1. create a non UTC location within the world-clock-applet
2. set the location as your home (world-clock-applet tries to change the
computers timezone here)
3. configured the applet to show the weather and temperature in the taskbar to
the left of the date
4. do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' and choose 'none of the above' and 'UTC'
5. restart X and desktop session
What you should see is that the weather fails to load.
hypothesis: the world-clock-applet is confused by the computers timezone being
set to a different timezone than the persons home is set to. (which should be a
no-brainer though as in order to have reliable timestamping UTC is the way to
go)
Yet I still want to know what temperature it is outside :D (without leaving my
chair ;-)
As soon as you reconfigure tzdata again to match your home locations
timezone the weather will display correctly again
