(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.

Title:
[time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work
offline
Status in libtimezonemap package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Click on clock -> Time and Date settings -> Clock -> Choose Locations
-> Click the + -> Start typing "San Franc"
When I'm at home, on a 300mbps connections, it takes several seconds
to several minutes, when trying to add a new location.
When I'm on a plane without internet connectivity, (ie, exactly when I
most importantly need to change the time on my laptop to the new/next
timezone), it doesn't work at all.
Can we please, please, please move this timezone/location information
to a locally cached database?
