Public bug reported:

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.
