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.
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
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 ~]#
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 ?
