GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 361990
Reminders appear at the wrong times.
Last modified: 2008-08-06 11:44:20 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #265507 +++ I have reminder popups turned on, but they all pop up 1 hour before they are supposed to. For example, I get a popup at 9:45am for a meeting at 11am. (my reminders are set to appear 15 minutes before the event) I am using Evo 2.6.3 I thought this might be due to timezones. However, I have my hardware clock set to GMT and my system timezone set to 'GMT'. The time in my panel appears correctly, as do the timestamps on emails that I send and receive in Evolution. As the 2.6.3 version of Evolution shows a red line in Calendars, showing the current time, the red line shows one hour after the time shown by the desktop clock.
probably an issue of daylight saving time, once again.
I'm using evolution 2.8.1 (ubuntu edgy) and it's happening with me too. I guess the problem is related to timezone, because here (most of Brazil) it's UTC-3:00, but evolution shows UTC-2:00. Gnome's date applet shows the right clock, but evolution doesn't. My timezone is set to America/Maceio.
(In reply to comment #1) > probably an issue of daylight saving time, once again. > I've thought the same. So I've checked my system's daylight saving time configurations, with tzdump as shown below: root@europa:~# zdump -v America/Sao_Paulo |grep 200[67] America/Sao_Paulo Sun Nov 5 02:59:59 2006 UTC = Sat Nov 4 23:59:59 2006 BRT isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800 America/Sao_Paulo Sun Nov 5 03:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Nov 5 01:00:00 2006 BRST isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200 America/Sao_Paulo Sun Feb 25 01:59:59 2007 UTC = Sat Feb 24 23:59:59 2007 BRST isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200 America/Sao_Paulo Sun Feb 25 02:00:00 2007 UTC = Sat Feb 24 23:00:00 2007 BRT isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800 root@europa:~# My system is set to America/Sao_Paulo timezone, and my Evolution has the same setting (America - Sao Paulo). And, for the current year, the daylight saving times are properly set, as shown above. Apparently, evolution uses different setting to get the daylight saving time changing dates. Where can I set this on evolution? I did tried to change evolution timezone, but all my appointments have also changed it's times. At least I can still sincronize with my Palm, the palm's reminders still appearing at the right time.
For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem (evolution-2.6.3) on a slackware/freerock-gnome box. One thing to add: the red line in the calendar window is off by one hour. the clock app (2.14.3) shows the correct time; however, the appointments dropdown shows the wrong times (again off by an hour) for appointments that show their correct times in evoltion's calendar window.

can anyone please try in current stable 2.22.3, thanks in advance.
It's working fine to me. Closing.
