[Jeff Lane <jeffrey.lane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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).

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.
