Bug description:
  Installing Xubuntu 21.04 daily 20201106 ISO

  1. Connected to Internet via WiFi connection
  2. Boot Hirsute Xubuntu  and run the installer
  3. Advance to the time zone selector 

  The correct time zone in my instance should be Reykjavik,Iceland

  However the result is New York
