The problem is two-fold: 1. The clock-applet will try to force the system timezone to the timezone of the location you are trying to set as home. (This is really awkward for international minded people who have long since abandoned local time in favor of world time)
2. the clock-applet does not accept direct timezones settings in tzdata (the Etc/ range) No. 2 foils a possible workaround: I tried to edit my home locations timezone to 'Etc/UTC' so that it matches my system timezone and will thus resume displaying my local weather in the taskbar. Unfortunately the clock applet seems to be ignorant of the presence of direct (non-geographical) timezone input and will not set the locations timezone to 'Etc/UTC' @Sebastien: Yes, I think the clock applet should be able to function fully without it trying to force a change in my system time. An elegant solution would if every defined location's weather could be optionally set to be displayed in the taskbar. This way the inability of the clock to acknowledge the 'Etc' set of tzdata would not inhibit users from seeing their local weather :D -- weather not shown in world-clock-applet when computer timezone differs from home location timezone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
