Description Adam Clark 2008-05-04 01:56:14 UTC

Description of problem:

Adjust Date and Time does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

system-config-date-1.9.30-2.fc9.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click date/time on menu bar.
2. Select <Adjust Date and Time>.
3. Adjust the time to a new time.
4. Click <Set System Time...>.
5. Note the "Current Time" does not change, neither in the dialog nor on the
menu bar.
  
Actual results:

The time does not change.

Expected results:

The time should change accordingly.

Additional info:

The same behavior exists when trying to adjust the date.

If you click cancel and go back in, the date you selected remains selected in
the "Time Settings" dialog.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2008-05-05 03:20:41 UTC

if you run /usr/libexec/gnome-clock-applet-mechanism (as root) in a terminal
before trying to change the time or timezone in the clock applet, do you get any
output ? I'd expect to see something like:

** (process:30325): DEBUG: SetTimezone('/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York')
called

Comment 2 Adam Clark 2008-05-07 03:11:03 UTC

The following is the output I received when performing the above test:

[root@rawhide ~]# /usr/libexec/gnome-clock-applet-mechanism
** (process:2251): DEBUG: Setting killtimer to 30 seconds...
** (process:2251): DEBUG: Setting killtimer to 30 seconds...
** (process:2251): DEBUG: SetTime(1210118512) called
** (process:2251): DEBUG: Exiting due to inactivity
[root@rawhide ~]#

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-05-09 17:48:16 UTC

This looks like we are failing to make the "Adjust Date & Time" menuitem
insensitive when the user doesn't have the necessary privileges.

When you open the main preferences window, is the "Time Settings" button grayed
out ?
