I just found out as a fresh Ubuntu user, that apparently I don't live in Israel, according to the clock's location I live in "Mikveh Israel"...
What The H?! I live in the state of Israel and as far as I am aware of, that's it's name.

I am very surprised to see this kind of misinformation in such a well built system and grand community and it would be only reasonable to fix this mistake.

Any one can explain that to me?

  • I'm not as up-to-date on my timezones as I could be, but I believe Israel is a single timezone, in which case this works fine. http://i.stack.imgur.com/yN0sy.png – jrg Feb 24 '12 at 22:59
  • I've edited your title to be more general as this isn't country related as such, it all just depends on who has submitted what information about a specific country. – Jorge Castro Feb 24 '12 at 23:01
  • Ubuntu as any other distro is mainly maintained by the large free help of people like you and me. If you find a bug or any misinformation you can help the community with it by providing the correct information for it. – Luis Alvarado Feb 24 '12 at 23:07

The location database for 11.04 and newer is handled by the ubuntu-geoname package, it's a community contributed set of data. If it's incorrect for your country then you can submit data to it to be included, instructions to doing that is available here:

For 10.10 and older (anything running gnome-panel), you can report a bug for libgweather:
