System Settings
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.3.1

SUMMARY
I booted the Fedora Rawhide KDE live image
Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso on bare metal. Plasma
6.3.1 on Wayland started. The time was set to UTC. I right-clicked on the clock
in the system tray and clicked on Adjust Date and Time. System Settings
started. I selected the Time Zone tab in the Date & Time page. I selected the
timezone with UTC-5:00 in the Area column and clicked Apply. An error message
Unable to set timezone was shown. The journal showed the error
systemsettings[4036]: Failed to set timezone
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs" "Invalid or not installed time zone
'UTC-05:00'"
I selected the America/Toronto (EST) timezone which is equivalent to UTC-05:00,
and the time was updated properly. I selected various other UTC- or UTC+
timezones, and they had the same errors Unable to set timezone. The problem
seemed to be with the timezones starting UTC- and UTC+.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso from

2. Boot Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20250226.n.0.x86_64.iso on bare metal
or in a VM.
3. right-click on the clock in the system tray
4. click on Adjust Date and Time in the context menu.
5. select the Time Zone tab in the Date & Time page in System Settings.
6. select the timezone with UTC-5:00 in the Area column
7. click Apply.
OBSERVED RESULT
Unable to set timezone to UTC- or UTC+ timezones in System Settings
EXPECTED RESULT
The timezone should've changed to the UTC-05:00
