Description mandbtech 2016-08-30 15:06:36 UTC
Using Ubuntu 14.04, KOrganizer worked fine when the time was inserted on a new event.  It showed and printed off properly.

When the operating system was upgraded to 16.04 the time shows properly on the event but on the calendar and when printed out it is five hours in advance.

This occurred both on a machine that was upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 and on a machine in which 16.04 was freshly installed.

When you go to Settings, Configure Date and Time, you receive an error message “Could not start control module for date and time format.”

In the new event menu, the only time zone options available are UTC and Floating.  This problem does not occur when the time zone is set at Floating.  However, the default is UTC.

Events entered prior to the operating system upgrade show the prior time zone (Chicago) and the correct time but when closed, show on the calendar (and print) five hours in advance.

I would appreciate any help in correcting this problem.

Thank you.

John

Follow up to bug report.

We have three calendars created on KOrganizer.  If we adjust all the existing appointments (that show up 5 hours in advance) to Floating so that they appear on the calendar at the right time, the adjustments only works on the machine they are being done on.  The calendars on the other two machines do not adjust.  There is a server that the calendar is on so all three calendars should update to reflect the same changes.

The calendar is not updating.  It is not keeping new appointments and they aren't appearing on the other two computers.  They are not syncing.

One of our calendars keeps crashing with the following error:  There was a problem with the request.  The item has not been detected.  The file or folder on machine4 does not exist.  We have not moved or removed any files or folders.  All three calendars are set up the same except for username.
