Version: (using KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.1 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-ck6 Maybe I'm wrong but it would be nice if normal users in the Date/Time module of kconfig could set a different timezone (TZ variable). This would not only affect the clock applet (which has its own timezone config) but also times in mails, etc. It might be useful for users who have not root access.
To accomplish changing the user's local timezone for applications after KDE has been started, the TZ variable can be initialised with a path to the user's KDE config dir (eg TZ=${KDEHOME}/share/mytime). If ${KDEHOME}/share/mytime does not exist when KDE starts, it can be symlinked to /etc/localtime.
This is fixed as of at least 4.10
I don't see any such setting in 4.10.5...
Aha, I must have misunderstood your problem... So you basically want a "fake" timezones for certain applications?
No, I just want to set a global timezone per-user. I'm looking for this in System Settings->Common A&B->Locale->Country/Region & Language.
Luke, does changing the timezone via System Settings > Date & Time > Time Zone tab work?
No. 1) Select a timezone 2) Click Apply button (nothing happens) 2b) Observe "Current local time zone:" remains "UTC (UTC)" 3) Open Konsole, run `date`, observe UTC result 3b) Observe environment has no TZ variable set 4) Change System Settings to another applet (Font Management) 4b) I am prompted to apply or discard changes; choose Apply 4c) Error dialog pops up "Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 3, " 5) Change System Settings back to Date & Time applet 6) Switch back to Time Zone tab 6b) Observe everything remains UTC
Which distribution are you using? There were some changes in underlying commands, and KDE probably has to be adapted. Please check if your bug is already reported at https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=systemsettings&component=kcm_clock&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED If not, create a new bug for systemsettings.
Gentoo. But this shouldn't be a distro-specific issue as it doesn't (and can't afaik) involve running any commands to implement.
See discussion at bug 317999 comment #11.
This is now do-able by changing your polkit config. Ubuntu and Fedora both ship default configs that allow any user to change time/timezone
This allows different users to set different timezones? Is it out of the question to implement a more portable solution for users who do not wish to install/use polkit? I explained how it can be done with standard *nix TZ var in comment 1.
