It's not really a kernel issue, it's an issue in whatever bits in Unity?? that set the system/calendar time (e.g. the Date/Time settings).
I filed generically against Ubuntu because I coudn't find a name for the appropriate piece of UserSpace that does this (I failed at name searching). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576222 Title: Clock does not update TZ based on location Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: See attached screenshot of the configs. Despite the fact that it is configured to update the time based on location, this simply does not work. I always have to manually re-configure the system time to the correct current timezone. This is rather annoying. Even Google Calendar, running inside a browser, properly detects location and offers to change TZ to match. But Ubuntu simply does not. This has been a problem for quite some time, please fix it.
