Bug ID: 495301
Summary: setting TZ environment variable knackers digital clock
widget
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.8
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: l...@royal.net
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If TZ environment variable is set at plasma startup, digital clock widget shows
nothing at all and uses all available free space on the panel for local time
("Your system time zone" on the Time Zone tab of the Digital Clock settings),
and treats local time as UTC when explicit time zone is selected on the Time
Zone tab, i.e. selecting time zone UTC+1 shows local time +1hr. My KDE is
ancient, but I found no similar bugs - open or closed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set TZ=MSK-3 before starting plasma - I did it in /etc/environment
2. start plasma/reboot
3. add digital clock widget to a panel, ensure that it shows local time
4. switch to UTC+0 timezone
OBSERVED RESULT
3. clock uses all available space on the panel and is blank
4. clock shows local time, not GMT (assuming you are not in the UK - then they
are the same)
EXPECTED RESULT
3. clock shows time and uses no more space than needed
4. clock shows GMT
