After installing kde3.5.1 I noticed my clock in the kicker was 1 hours off. I checked it with date, which showed right time and in KDEsettings-->Date&time, which also showed right time the Timezone in KDEsettings shows Europe/Stockholm(UTC). in my /etc/conf.d/clock CLOCK="local" and I dont have /etc/localtime since KDE apparently deletes it all the time And Since sunday it shows 2 hours off apparently because of changing to daylight-saving and the other still shows right. Is this a bug in that kickerapplet or in any other part of kde?
I suppose I could be wrong, but I have /etc/localtime and KDE has never once deleted it on me.
I maybe was wrong to about kde deleting it, because now(2reboots later) its still there and it shows right time. All I had to do was to relink my /etc/localtime to my timezone. that didnt work at first, so I rebooted and, now it shows right time. Can anyone tell me why there was a need to reboot in order to fix this?. shouldnt the changes take effect when I change them?
If changing the symlink should change the time immediatly, the system would need to monitor the fs permanently. That's rather expensive. But /etc/init.d/clock restart should have done it, instead a reboot. Local problem, therefore closing as invalid.
