Michael, I appreciate that you've walked us through the steps you've followed in uncovering all these issues. Unfortunately, that makes this bug report not useful for development -- it covers six separate issues, which will very likely have different resolutions, and which, even if all fixed, proba

Agreed. I tried Europe first, before I searched for Amsterdam. And when selecting that, I saw that it had properly converted that to the appropriate "Europe/Amsterdam". If we're configuring time, it should IMO not ask for location, but for a timezone, which is Europe/Amsterdam. I don't want to tel

@Michael, there is bug #1362134 about the relevance of the ranking, if that was fixed it would probably make the experience better (you would still have noise for e.g "ulm" but having the result that matters first would remove most of the annoyance I think) -- You received this bug notification b

Sebastien, yes, Ulm is indeed there, but hidden way down the list because there's a lot of other cities that have "ulm" in the name. I just missed it in the noise. Matthew: Living in central Europe, whenever I set up a timezone in a device, I usually do this: I search for "Europe" which then usual

The selection of cities in tzdata has long been a source of frustration: see for example bug 113718, bug 179885, bug 337330, bug 344348, bug 996853, and bug 997737. Ubuntu developers understandably defer to the upstream maintainers, because, whoa, geopolitics. But the end result is that we end up w

Thanks, what device/ubuntu version do you use? "Ulm" is listed/returns result on bq rtm and on desktop vivid here... The list of cities used is /usr/share/libtimezonemap/ui/cities15000.txt from libtimezonemap, having every city on earth listed would means a load of data, handling the current list
