Bug Description
Binary package hint: tzdata
I live in the Eastern Time Zone in North America. I had set the computer to Hibernate on March 8, 2008. But after resuming from hibernation on March 9, 2008 in the evening, the system was still on Eastern Standard Time (EST). It did not change automatically to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). IMHO, it should have done an automatic change to EDT after waking up, checking the date (March 9, 2008) and time (after 2:00 AM) -- or it should have at least asked me about it.
I have a fully-updated Gutsy 7.10 installation, including all the suggested Time Zone software updates.
The Clock Applet on top Gnome panel had been set to Configuration: Keep Synchronized with Internet servers > Select Servers: time.nrc.ca (Canada) and ntp.ubuntu.com
I had to do a manual Synchronize with Time Servers using Clock Applet on top Gnome panel > Adjust Date & Time > Configuration: Manual > Synchronize Now. This fixed the problem.
I then returned the settings to Clock Applet on top Gnome panel had been set to Configuration: Keep Synchronized with Internet servers > Select Servers: time.nrc.ca (Canada) and ntp.ubuntu.com
I should have also mentioned:
Ever since the original installation (Feisty, later upgraded to Gutsy), I have had the Time zone set to America/Toronto. This is what is also shown in Clock Applet on top Gnome panel > Adjust Date & Time.
Synaptic shows that the version of tzdata that I have installed is the latest available, i.e.: 2007k-0ubuntu0. 7.10.1
