Bug ID: 428591
Summary: won't use time zone nor is selectable
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.19.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
On Slackware GNU/Linux 14.n,14-current (and probably anything equally
Unix-like, or Unix like FreeBSD 12.n,13-CURRENT) the system tray's digital
clock won't honour my system time setting. I'm at US/Pacific but the digital
clock in system tray apparently doesn't use /etc/localtime (on Slackware,
forgot what it is on Unix but possibly similar in that case of FreeBSD.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select clock to show local time zone.
2. Select time zone.
3. Says 'Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 3, Tried to start invalid
action.' (even as root!) (not that I run KDE as root except sometimes to add
printers)
OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes might honour or let one choose your time zone (PT: PST, PDT) to
display but sometimes when resetting things (like setting night colour earlier
at end of daylight saving time) it breaks then won't let you choose your time
zone to display, and claims it's UTC while actually at same time showing the
time for UTC-8/GMT-8/PT.
EXPECTED RESULT
Simply use /etc/localtime or whatever else has to be used. Don't assume a
computer is a server in UTC. Don't assume people are running systemd garbage
that probably is trying to control system time to make the Internet a time
machine to takeover universe.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
