[Bug 696115] Re: Timezone should not require superuser on laptop

 

Oh, that's silly!

It's a laptop, darn it!    The other users will (almost certainly) be on
the console, and they'll be in the same time zone your are in.   (Unless
they have *very* long arms.)

What you are proposing is not the normal use case for a laptop -- you
seem to be thinking that I carry my laptop around so that people can ssh
into it.     That's quite rare.

  Timezone should not require superuser on laptop

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

When you carry a laptop from one timezone to another, it's nice to be able to set the time correctly, even if you don't have administrative rights on the laptop.
