Actually my last comment was only half right. indicator-datetime does have a bug that doesn't set the fallback timezone for EDS to use when loading events, but there is a bigger problem in qtorganizer5-eds.
So, I'm in UTC-6 and just used ubuntu-clock-app to create a one-time alarm to kick on Wed Feb 27th at 9 PM. What gets saved to tasks.ics is this: DTSTART:20140227T030000 DUE:20140227T030000 SUMMARY:Alarm Note the lack of timezone information. That makes this a "floating" time, meaning that the alarm will kick at that specified time regardless of timezone. This is a Good Thing, since that means our M-F 6am wakeup alarms will kick at 6am even if we travel to a different timezone. So that's the good news. The bad news, the kick time is floating at 2014-02-27 03:00:00. That means EDS being sent a VTODO that kicks at 3am no matter what timezone it's in.... and that's why indicator-datetime is showing what it's showing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283236 Title: Alarms are triggered in UTC tz despite saving in local tz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-datetime/+bug/1283236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
