1. setting the wrong time zone through the nixos config and generating it (in my case, not knowing that there was only one time zone “Asia/Almaty” left, I set it to “Asia/Astana”) 2. an attempt to take a screenshot, of a region, of the entire screen, an attempt to save it or copy it to the clipboard, after which it crashes 3. when run via terminal using the command "spectacle -bcr " the error "Unable to determine system time zone: please check your system configuration. Segmentation fault (core dumped)" it just doesn't work in the wrong time zone, making it difficult to diagnose using topic chats os: nixos unstable chanel, KDE plasma 6.0.5
Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the coredumpctl command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl? I'm wondering if the issue comes from spectacle itself or a library we use.
Hi, I have the same issue as the OP, with the exact same system. The output from `timedatectl` seems okay, though. I tried to run coredumpctl gdb 70296`, but besides providing information, I get `Failed to invoke gdb: No such file or directory`. So, I'll come back to it later.

Sorry, I can no longer reproduce this error, my system does not boot with such changes, funny XD
Created attachment 170152 [details] coredumpctl gdb 123141 | wl-copy Hi Noah, I've been told on the nixos chat room that: "Thought without debug symbols it won't show much else beside what coredumpctl already shows". So I past the output of `coredumpctl gdb 123141`. Coredump resulting from invoking `spectacle` from command line and then clicking on `save` or `copy` or `configure` to name a few. Which results in the error message: "Unable to determine system time zone: please check your system configuration. Segmentation fault (core dumped)" But really my time zone seems perfectly okay. ``` $ timedatectl | grep zone Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000) ``` If I can provide additional information I'm happy to do it, Cheers, Chris

I did provide the requested info a fortnight ago. However `sudo nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade` just now (unstable) and rebooting caused the bug not showing anymore, so I guess the issue can just be closed.
