clock applet don't have any locations for Canary Islands

[E.Guerra]

Clock applet don't have any locations for Canary Islands, Spain
In 8.04 work nice, but with 8.10 we don't have any locations for that place of the earth.
Using, the weather applet I found that there is only a place over the name of Atogo. That name is not relevant nor have we at least one airport of the islands.
Sorry to Atogo people, that place isn't known.
Then, I had to use Atogo as my place.

Using, Ubuntu 8.10 for powerpc.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

Sorry, I am not suggesting any kind of change.
I am saying, that since Debian is Debian, all airports for Canary Island
have been considerate, and the time zone, that is different to Spain,
have been set correctly.
Now, the people who are developing this part on Ubuntu 8.10, have erase
that place of the earth.
I am living in USA, and I am from some latinamerica country; so, I don't
have any kind of personal interest about, but report an evident error in
Ubuntu at least.
I am not sure in what package it is failing, nor is Debian the cause of
this.
I am willing to help you to solve this trouble.

I want to make further clarification on this bug.

The original poster is using the PowerPC version of Ubuntu which is not "officially" supported any more.

I am running the i386 version of Ubuntu 8.10, with Gnome 2.24.1.
In this version the clock applet does have Canary Islands as a location under Spain.

1. Right click clock applet
2. Preferences
3. Locations
4. Add
5. Timezone
6. Spain
7. Canary Islands (GMT / GMT+1)

It's possible that this bug only exists in the specific Gnome version in the PowerPC distribution, in which case the user is advised to contact the maintainers of that version.

With your procedure, I got your same outcome, but I only have a time
zone. I don't have any specific location neither latitude and longitude,
nor weather conditions. I think that the weather is bringing by a
meteorological station like an airport. I know that had some weather
trouble in 8.10.

Please, let me time to install 8.10 over i386.
But, you can try

1. Right click clock applet
2. Preferences
3. Locations
4. Add
5. Location Name

Type "Tenerife", or "Canary", and you can't get any thing.
Only in Tenerife, there are two international airports: Tenerife Norte
and Tenerife Sur.
There are seven airports in the seven islands and many of those are
international.
If you get 8.04 you can see how this run properly.

E. Guerra:

Thank you for clarifying the bug report. I see what you mean now.
Can you please update the description of the bug?

I tried what you said in Ubuntu 8.04.

Basically the bug is this:
1. In Ubuntu 8.04 if you search for "Canary" or "Tenerife" you'll find the location for "Canary Islands", including timezone, latitude and longitude.
2. In Ubuntu 8.10 you have to search manually and you will only find the timezone.

It is somewhat like a regression, but it's really not a high-importance bug. Maybe the data files with the coordinates were incomplete or something.
I don't think developers would care much about fixing it in 8.10, however you should try the next Ubuntu release, 9.04, and make sure this doesn't happen again.

The request should be sent on bugzilla.gnome.org

I tried in ubuntu 10.04 LTS and found it works ok fetching weather temperature in the following locations:
Atogo -> Tenerife (Yes, I don't know why is under Atogo)
Tamaduste -> Hierro
Palma -> Palma

Please upgrade to the most recent version and let us know if you are still having this issue. Thanks in advance.
