Bug ID: 497960
Summary: can't set alarms by time when local timezone is UTC
Classification: Applications
Product: kalarm
Version: 3.10.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: djar...@kde.org
Reporter: madewokh...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
With the system timezone set to UTC, when entering an alarm at a specific
date/time, KAlarm always reports that the time has already elapsed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set localtime to UTC.
2. Select New>>New Display Alarm... in KAlarm
3. Ensure "At date/time" is selected, and move it forward an hour to make sure
it's in the future.
OBSERVED RESULT
An error message is shown: "Alarm time has already expired"
EXPECTED RESULT
Alarm is successfully created.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KAlarm: 3.10.0 (KDE Gear 24.12.0)
KDE Frameworks: 6.9.0
Qt: Using 6.8.1 and built against 6.8.1
Arch Linux (Xcb)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.12.6-arch1-1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tracked this down to the offsetAtLocalTime function in kadatetime.cpp. The
switch (qTimeSpec(zoneDateTime)) does not account for Qt::UTC or
Qt::OffsetFromUTC. In this case, the timespec is QT::UTC.
