Description of problem: I use the rtc wakealarm every day to make my PC start at the right time, but recently this stopped working properly after either a kernel update (or perhaps it was when I upgraded to F12). This is the process I use to set the wakealarm. This is how I've done it for the past couple of years, so I expect it to work: date -d '8am tomorrow' +%s > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm Recently though my timezone offset has been interfering somehow. # cat /proc/driver/rtc rtc_time : 12:19:04 rtc_date : 2010-01-17 alrm_time : 21:30:00 alrm_date : 2010-01-17 ... Notice how it has set the alarm 10 and a half hours too early (my timezone offset is +1030). Now, I could adjust for this in my script, but it seems like a bug that the kernel has suddenly changed its behaviour. To reproduce this you will need to have a non-zero timezone offset. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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
This bug is still present in 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64.
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
Why was this closed? I clearly said it was still a bug in F13. Silly bug zapper.

Still present in F15. Any news? Can someone confirm that this behaviour is correct or not?
Can I get an explanation of the WONTFIX?
