[BUG] Waybar clock using UTC time instead of currently set timezone

[elliottophellia]

Describe the bug I just re-install my Arch yesterday and then install ML4W Dotfiles from AUR, but I just realized today that my clock using UTC time, I thought maybe my Arch timezone bugged then I check timedatectl but :

❯ timedatectl
               Local time: Tue 2024-09-10 21:11:07 WIB
               Universal time: Tue 2024-09-10 14:11:07 UTC
               RTC time: Tue 2024-09-10 14:11:07
               Time zone: Asia/Jakarta (WIB, +0700)
               System clock synchronized: yes
               NTP service: active
               RTC in local TZ: no

I tried to do something about it and goto /home/lia/.config/waybar/module.json find clock and then add "timezone":"Asia/Jakarta", in it, but still got nothing.

Maybe its about RTC in local TZ: no i though, so I did sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 and reload the Waybar, change its Theme, or change the fmt format, but still in UTC.

Maybe I need to reboot? so I did reboot and after login SDDM, my clock still on UTC.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to dekstop
2. Find out clock is on UTC ( idk maybe do fresh install and set timezone to Asia/Jakarta )

Expected behavior Clock set to UTC

Update: I found stupid way to fix this

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/t/tzdata/tzdata-2024a-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U tzdata-2024a-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

then ignore tzdata from update

sudo sed -i '/^#IgnorePkg/s/^#//' /etc/pacman.conf
sudo sed -i '/^IgnorePkg/s/$/ tzdata/' /etc/pacman.conf

then reboot
