[Bug 985827] Re: Location/TimeZone not selected automatically

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Do you have a fully working internet connection during installation? And
a green tick against internet connectivity at the prepare stage?

Automatic location/timezone detection only works with a working internet
connection. From the logs, it appears that the connection to geonames-
lookup.ubuntu.com was unsuccessful.

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is an install test of Ubuntu DVD 12.04 amd 64 on a Oracle VBox
  VM.  I'm running 64bit Precise on a 64bit VM.
