Public bug reported:
Apologies if this is reported against the wrong package; feel free to
reassign it.
When changing time zone in Ubuntu 13.10, the clock gets stuck on the old
time.
Yesterday evening I travelled from Manaus to Rio de Janeiro, which is a
two hour time zone change to the east. At 20:40 Manaus time, I clicked
on the clock on the Gnome panel, selected "Date & Time settings...", and
clicked on where Rio de Janeiro is on the world map. It automatically
selected Sao Paulo, which I guess is the closest place it has data for.
I then closed the Time & Date window. The clock should then have changed
to 22:40 (as it would have in Ubuntu 13.04), but instead stayed stuck on
20:40. Right now (11:30 Rio time the following day), the clock in the
Gnome panel still says "20:40". Running the date command in a terminal
produces the correct time:
$ date
Tue Oct 22 11:30:42 BRST 2013
so it's definitely a problem with the Gnome clock applet rather than the
system time.
