Get the patch for timezone update from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=83954. You can apply the patch in you install area where the timezone information for evolution-data-server is present. You can find the location of zoneinfo by $ rpm -ql evolution-data-server |grep zoneinfo It would be under /opt/gnome/share/evolution-data-server-1.8/
Go to that directory and apply the patch $ cd /opt/gnome/share/evolution-data-server-1.8/ $ patch -p0 <~/timezone_update.diff Check if its applied properly. Do a evolution force shutdown $ evolution-2.8 --force-shutdown Things should start working fine with appointments. thanks, Chenthill. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
