Description of problem: When right clicking on the clock in Gnome and selecting adjust date & time, adjustment and authentication fails with no error/informational message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): clock version is 2.22.1.2, /usr/libexec/clock-applet is version 0 (according to /usr/libexec/clock-applet --version = GNOME ClockApplet 0) How reproducible: If clock time is inaccurate, right click on the clock in Gnome and select Adjust Data & Time, when the time has been modified clicking on Set System Time will produce a prompt for the root password, entry of the password (correctly) will fail to commit the changes to the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on the date/time portion of the Gnome Panel 2. Select Adjust Date/Time 3. Modify the time and then click on Set System Time Actual results: Repeated prompt for root password, which, when entered just brings the dialog to enter the password again up. This happens 3 times and then returned to the Time Settings Window Expected results: Modification of system time Additional info: This occurs whether or not NTP is selected. The workaround is to disable NTP, Go to System -> Administration -> Date & Time and adjust the time through this menu. Once successful, re-enable NTP and everything appears to work as expected. Throughout the whole scenario no messages/errors are displayed and nothing is logged to /var/log/messages. This behaviour was also experienced by f_newton and workaround was successful for him as well.
This happens with Fedora 10 too.
Sorry, my mistake.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
