Can flatpaks know the default timezone? #9

Closed detrout closed 6 years ago

detrout commented 6 years ago

When creating an appointment in the calendar, I select a time, enter information and then the appointment jumps several hours earlier.

I discovered the default timzeone appears to be "Universal", and that after I save the appointment, the appointment's timezone changes to UTC. Considering I'm in the America/Los_Angeles timezone, that's ends up being a a pretty big jump.

It looks like /etc/timezone is set to "Universal" in the container.

flatpak run --command=/bin/bash  org.kde.kontact/x86_64/stable
bash-4.3$ cat /etc/timezone
Universal

/etc/localtime contains your timezone.

detrout commented 6 years ago

That is true.Though KOrganizer is defaulting to "Universal" when creating an appointment and not the setting described by /etc/localtime

It looks like /run/host/monitor contains

host.conf hosts localtime resolv.conf

Should it also contain /etc/timezone?

Nice catch. This is something that must be done by upstream Flatpak, we cannot workaround this one in Kontact Flatpak, so I reported it there.

danvratil commented 6 years ago

This issue has been fixed in Flatpak itself, so we can close this.

its still happening to me, using UTC instead of my current set timezone

travier commented 2 years ago

I can't reproduce that:

$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 Feb 11  2018 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris
$ flatpak run --command=bash org.kde.ark
$ cat /etc/timezone 
Europe/Paris
$ ls -alh /etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 tim tim 34 Oct 27 12:45 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris
autoteelar commented 2 years ago

its not exactly that, i didnt run any commands. i just installed element desktop and realized all the time zones are UTC but if i use element-desktop from my package manager or tarball it shows my local time

and yeah, ls -l /etc/localtime shows my proper time zone too

oh but when i do this

$ flatpak run --command=bash im.riot.Riot $ cat /etc/timezone UTC $

it shows utc

so i could probably edit that specific file saying UTC right?

$ ls -alh /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 ichigo ichigo 25 10月 27 12:25 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

You're on the issue tracker for org.kde.kontact. Please file an issue in the right place.

travier commented 2 years ago

Can't reproduce that either:

$ flatpak run --command=bash im.riot.Riot
[📦 im.riot.Riot ~]$ cat /etc/timezone 
Europe/Paris
[📦 im.riot.Riot ~]$ ls -alh /etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 tim tim 34 Oct 27 15:33 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

i thought this was for the flatpak repo, my bad this result just pinged on the search engine, is this a flatpak universal issue or per program? i dont know how flatpak works really

autoteelar commented 2 years ago

thank you for confirming that it doesnt happen to you on riot, something must be up with my distro. i will have to close this then as its probably my distro
