[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1178719] Re: geoip.ubuntu.com thinks Chattanooga, TN is in Central timezone
This post indicates that the source of the data comes from MaxMind. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755533#20 I checked and MaxMind knows that Chattanooga is in Eastern timezone. It would be wonderful if there was a published method for making corrections. It seems that everyone that gets bad data from this service is just stuck with it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1192635/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzsetup/+bug/589708/ ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #755533 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755533 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-geoip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178719 Title: geoip.ubuntu.com thinks Chattanooga, TN is in Central timezone Status in Ubuntu GeoIP Provider: New Status in ubuntu-geoip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: wget -O - -q http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup 66.18.x.yOKUSUSAUnited StatesTNTennesseeChattanooga3741535.1300-85.2907423America/Chicago Everything is correct except that Chattanooga TN is not in Central time.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1178719] Re: geoip.ubuntu.com thinks Chattanooga, TN is in Central timezone
While it is great that this is now 'Confirmed' (it affects all Ubuntu users in Chattanooga, TN). I gave up on this getting fixed years ago. I set up a DNS override and have a web server serving the correct time zone on the LAN. All I was looking for was who is the correct contact for mistakes in geoip.ubuntu.com. If this is a purchased feed and someone upstream needs to be notified, who would that be? I could not find another service with the same mistake. Maybe someone else can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-geoip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178719 Title: geoip.ubuntu.com thinks Chattanooga, TN is in Central timezone Status in Ubuntu GeoIP Provider: New Status in ubuntu-geoip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: wget -O - -q http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup 66.18.x.yOKUSUSAUnited StatesTNTennesseeChattanooga3741535.1300-85.2907423America/Chicago Everything is correct except that Chattanooga TN is not in Central time.
