It should say "Toronto, Local, (Your system timezone)" I've seen this happen on broken setups where /etc/localtime didn't point to the right place. Can you should me output of ls -l /etc/localtime 'ls -l /etc/localtime' : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3503 Sep 28 2015 /etc/localtime My bug is intended to get the label 'UTC' changed to something more helpful. If it is in fact generated by KDE from system information, perhaps it's looking in the wrong place. There are no problems with any other software re localtime or clock settings. Information was provided with comment 2; changing status for inspection. Works for me with /etc/localtime pointing to a specific timezone: ls -la /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jun 4 20:06 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver Looks like for Philip, it's a file, not a symlink to something else. I guess the remaining question is whether this is a local misconfiguration, or if we should be getting this data from another source. |
