From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051215 Epiphany/1.9.4 Description of problem: When I try to adjust the time zone for the computer, I am prompted for a root password. After I authenticate, select a zime zone, and press OK, the zime zone remains the same. If I switch root, and launch s-c-t from the console, it works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: x Additional info:
I experienced the exact same thing with a FC5t2 install
In the future, please do mention the package version _always_. Otherwise, it works for me as expected (changing back from Eastern European Timezone to Central European Timezone): [nils@cognac ~]$ date Mon Feb 6 17:03:58 EET 2006 [nils@cognac ~]$ system-config-date [nils@cognac ~]$ date Mon Feb 6 16:05:24 CET 2006 This is system-config-date-1.8.0-1.
From your example, it looks like you followed the workaround (to run s-c-d from the command line), rather than running it from the gui (which is broken). system-config-date-1.8.0-1.
I've just verified this without calling system-config-date from the command line, but from System/Administration/Date & Time and it worked. I'll need to retry it with all the latest updates applied, though. Stay tuned.
I've tried to reproduce this with an updated Rawhide system, but everything worked as expected (without resorting to starting stuff from the command line and with SELinux Targeted Policy enabled and enforcing). I'll close this as I can't reproduce the problem.
