[Bug 1455223] Re: [time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline

 

The internet access makes sense in the ubiquity installer because you
can assume the machine is not configured yet, that's not the case in
settings so I think using the offline datas would be fine there

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?
