Actually, there is no pre-defined location depending on the language selection on the live session (Location is blank in the Time & Date settings)
A solution would be to geolocate the user to set the timezone like Ubiquity does.

Reassigning to datetime since that's what provides the control center datetime panel but that might be the wrong component, it's the liveCD probably which should set correctly its environment, though the panel could be smarter about displaying a non empty location

I think the reporter means that selecting a language like Italian should also change the time zone to UTC+1. As far as I know, this was never implemented in the system, so this is a feature request. And it affects Ubiquity, not indicator-datetime.

We "could" try to geolocate from ubiquity when in greeter mode but that's the only way I see us doing something like that.
We already are missing a Language => Default country mapping database so doing Language => timezone would be even more problematic and almost consistently wrong.

Attempting a call to the geolocation API as a Network Manager hook or something similar might work, doing it in ubiquity wouldn't work for users choosing to start the live session directly without going through the greeter.

One problem I see here is code duplication as we're currently quite carefully calling tzsetup that does all the for us and avoid having a duplicate copy of the logic from d-i. Having that call earlier in ubiquity or in a NM hook means duplicating the code and ending up having to maintain it at both places.

Anyway, marking as wishlist.

Hello, I have tested Edubuntu amd64 20121211 (md5sum:- 55c0d1196032c280c018f75c22dc5c5d *raring-dvd-amd64.iso), on live usb persistent.

This bug is confirmed!

Since the datetime panel has moved from indicator-datetime to unity-control-center, I'm reassigning this Affects there based on Sebastien's logic in comment #8, though I agree with him that this is more an issue with the liveCD's environment than it is control-center or indicator-datetime...

the issue can't really be resolved from the settings ui, closing that component

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue on a maintained version of Ubuntu please let us know.

Hi Marcus

Please close this 8 year old bug. Also thanks for responding.
