Description Matt Fagnani 2025-02-26 09:12:22 UTC

I booted the Fedora Rawhide KDE live image Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso on bare metal. Plasma 6.3.1 on Wayland started. The time was set to UTC. I right-clicked on the clock in the system tray and clicked on Adjust Date and Time. System Settings started. I selected the Time Zone tab in the Date & Time page. I selected the timezone with UTC-05:00 in the Area column and clicked Apply. An error message Unable to set timezone was shown. The journal showed the error systemsettings[4036]: Failed to set timezone "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs" "Invalid or not installed time zone 'UTC-05:00'"

I selected the America/Toronto (EST) timezone which is equivalent to UTC-05:00, and the time was updated properly. I selected various other UTC- or UTC+ timezones, and they had the same errors Unable to set timezone. The problem seemed to be with the timezones starting UTC- and UTC+.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Fedora Rawhide KDE live image Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2666595
2. Boot Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso on bare metal or in a VM.
3. right-click on the clock in the system tray
4. click on Adjust Date and Time in the context menu.
5. select the Time Zone tab in the Date & Time page in System Settings.
6. select the timezone with UTC-05:00 in the Area column
7. click Apply.

Actual Results:
Unable to set timezone to UTC- or UTC+ timezones in System Settings

Expected Results:
The timezone should've changed to UTC-05:00
