Distribution: Debian 3.1 Package: Evolution Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.10.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu Synopsis: There is one hour diffrence between Appointment Time and System Time. Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Calendar Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: I have appointed an Appointment for 2:00 pm (April 14 2005) but the Alarm was fired on 2:45 pm! In Clock Applet, the appointment time was 3:00 pm! I think its because of daylight saving time! Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. set an appointmet and set start time = x Actual Results: 1. Clock Applet in Gnome shows the appointment time = x + 1 2. Alarm fires on x + 45 Expected Results: 1. Clock Applet in Gnome shows the appointment time = x 2. Alarm fires on x - 15 How often does this happen? Always! Additional Information: I have Ubuntu 5.04 rc with gnome 2.10.1 and Evolution 2.2.1.1 My time zone is Asia/Tehran. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-04-14 09:02 ------- Unknown platform unknown.

to what timezone have you set up your evolution when installing it and starting it for the first time? ()and to which type have you set your system time? perhaps the reason is that they differ from each other. :-/ what happens if you set up an appointment by setting the timezone of appointment (one can click on theat littel world buttom right of the start time and ending time dropdown lists) explicitly to your timezone, does it work then correctly? just a few ideas, don't know... :-)
you can find out your timezone setting by going to "Edit / Preferences / Calendar and Tasks / General / Time / Time Zone".
I was sure but I checked that and both of my system and evolution time-zone are Tehran/Asia. I checked my guess, daylight! Answer was yes! I changed my date to 6 months later and the problem disappeared! In our country, we change our clocks to show an hour earlier than the real time to use the day light. I think some other countries have this strategy too. Should I report this to Evolution or Gnome?! One of these has not predicted this.(but the other had!)
adding i18n keyword, if i remember correctly, roozbeh has also seen this bug. :-/
