Greetings :)
Having similar issues to https://issues.guix.info/issue/35746but not
quite the same.
I'm having time offset issues in various applications on guix system.
My timezone is set to
(operating-system
(host-name "swift")
(timezone "Africa/Johannesburg")
(locale "en_US.utf8")
Which in terminal is correct
ds@swift ~ $ date
Sun 12 Apr 2020 09:54:27 PM SAST
So I'm +0200, yet many applications report there time in UTC which is
frustrating.
Apps being:
- qutebrowser
- ungoogled-chromium
icecat works, when the privacy feature (ResistFingerprinting) is
disabled in about:config .
I was chatting to the maintainer of qutebrowser, str1ngs, on #guix and
he did not have the same issue on his guix system. Which is really
strange. He tried various debugging with me and in the end I think he
said:
<str1ngs> divansantana and QDateTime works as well [21:12]
<str1ngs> it's something qtwebenine or javascript related
My locale, in case that's relevant:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
I test the browser timezone via browsing to https://play.grafana.org/
for instance. But I've noticed the issue in multiple sites.
Perhaps this is a separate issue but in notmuch I notice similar:
In some emails it gives time in UTC
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2020 12:55:21 +0000
While other emails it gives +0200 time.
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 21:04:01 +0200
