Recent update changed time settings, time zone can't be changed in KDE
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:32 EDT
Description of problem: A recent update changed my time settings, and the time zone settings cannot be changed in KDE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Dunno, since it happened durring an update Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
In addition, updating the time using the System Settings-> Date & Time menu item results in "date" reporting the correct time, but an incorrect time is shown in the task bar. (in this case, it is +2 hours from the correct time) It seems to only be the context menu of the taskbar "Adjust date and time" that has trouble with the timezone. "Adjust date and time" shows the same time as "date".
Created attachment 108555 [details] /var/log/yum.log
I think that rebooting or restarting X finally synced what 'date' reports and what is shown in the KDE taskbar date/time applet. There are definately problems using the context menu of the KDE date/time applet to change timezones.
Forwarding this to kdebase which contains the applet.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closed per above message and lack of response. Note that FC2 is not even supported by Fedora Legacy currently.
