[Bug 1903312] Re: Ubiquity not selecting correct timezone when connected to Internet

[Leó Kolbeinsson]

@brian-murray

I ran tests on the daily 11-05-2021 ISO's for Xubuntu,Kubuntu,Ubuntu
Mate and Ubuntu on 2 test machines -

1. Dell [ Optiplex] MT 7040 ( i7-6700,32 GB, Intel HD Graphics 530,Intel
i219-LM GB Ethernet, M.2 256GB SATA SSD) with TP-Link TL-WN823N USB WiFi
adapter (Ethernet unplugged)

2. Lenovo V14 IIL i3-1005G1,20GB,Intel UHD Graphics,WiFi Realtek
802.11ac, bluetooth 4.2, 256GB M2NVMe SS

In all tests the WiFi connection in test machine #1 (Dell) successfully reported correct location 
However on test machine # 2 (Lenovo) only Ubuntu successfully reported location (Reykjavik) the others all showed New York 

Importantly I also noticed that when advancing to "Updates and other
software" on the Lenovo machine all testcases with the exception of
Ubuntu failed to select the option "Download updates while installing
Ubuntu" -

It appears to me this is maybe a driver issue - I will attach as an
example the syslog from Kubuntu iso 11-05-2021 for the Lenovo install
and in a seperate comment the Ubuntu syslog same dates for comparison -

  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
