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.
