I do not believe this is an Ubuntu issue, or a bug, for that matter. I had the same problem with my Google/Evolution calendar sync. This is what fixed the problem for me:
-Edit > Preferences > Calendar and Tasks -Uncheck "Use system time zone (UTC)" -Select your time zone in the next field (Click the Select button to the right) This solved the issue for me. If I misunderstood your post, however, please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696844 Title: Calendar sync with google - time zone data is incorrect Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution I have selected a Google calendar to sync with Evolution.
