Description Rasmus Plewe 2006-01-13 15:23:33 UTC

Configuration: Restore manually saved session, with a korganizer configured as beeing in MET in that session.

Sometimes, not always, when logging into KDE, korganizer displays the appointments apparently in UTC instead of in MET as configured. Hmm. 
An example: I have an appointment 10:00 MET. When the problem happens, this appointment seems to be interpreted as 10:00 UTC and thus is displayed at 11:00 MET (equals 10:00 UTC). 
Closing korganizer and starting it again solves this (but only if you check your appointments and take action. Otherwise you arrive an hour too late to your appointments).

Comment 1 Will Stephenson 2006-02-17 15:01:52 UTC

What kind of calendar are you using? SLOX? Groupwise?

Comment 2 Rasmus Plewe 2006-02-17 15:05:38 UTC

Local file, SLOX, Groupwise.

Comment 3 Will Stephenson 2006-02-20 22:51:23 UTC

1) Do you have MET configured in Korganizer as well as on the desktop? (Configure Korganizer->Time & Date)

2) Please can you establish by a process of elimination whether it is the slox or GW calendar (or both) that has the problem?

Comment 4 Rasmus Plewe 2006-02-23 16:08:25 UTC

1) hwclock is set to UTC, all other reachable settings are MET (Europe/Stockholm). 

2) I'm rather sure it's both, since *all* dates are shifted when this happens, IIRC. Just two days ago I saw this at home, where I only use two local file resource and both were shifted. I don't think it's source-related.

Comment 5 Rasmus Plewe 2006-02-24 06:35:47 UTC

I was just forced to login again. The results were:
- no appointments were displayed at all, even though all sources 
  except SLOX were checked (this is rather usual). 
- after unchecking and checking the sources, 
  o GW appointments were displayed correctly
  o local file appointments were shown one hour earlier. 
  o SLOX appointments were shown two hours earlier.

Closing korganizer and alarmd, killing all korgan* processes and starting korganizer solved the issue: appointments were shown directly, and in all cases correctly, too.

Comment 6 Rasmus Plewe 2006-03-09 18:04:48 UTC

This seems to have vanished in 10.1 beta7. Only one login so far. I will set to NEEDINFO, and close the report if it proves to be really not reproducable any more.

Comment 7 Rasmus Plewe 2006-03-20 18:25:18 UTC

Also in beta8 no longer reproducable, closing....
