This is working fine here (Latest Cauldron , task-cinnamon-2.0.0-5.mga5 , cinnamon-2.2.9-1.mga5 on x86-64 ). Just for checking: if you start up a terminal window (e.g: xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal) and type "date", which time are you getting?

Roelof: does it happen in a new UNIX user account?

Still the same problems.

I also checked it on Gnome. Clock is one hour ahead 12 instead of 13 hour and the date is still wrong. Also there Saturday instead of Sunday

Here the output of timedatectl status: 

timedatectl status
      Local time: zo 2014-05-18 15:13:59 CEST
  Universal time: zo 2014-05-18 13:13:59 UTC

                  zo 2014-10-26 02:00:00 CET

Warning: The RTC is configured to maintain time in the local timezone. This
         mode is not fully supported and will create various problems with time
         zone changes and daylight saving adjustments. If at all possible use
         RTC in UTC, by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.

What is most wierd is that the local clock gives now 13:36

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2014-05-19 12:27:55 CEST

We're quite a lot to see this bug.
As stated on the dev ml, this is due to latest timecode update which either is bogus or unhided a bug in glib.

Comment 11 Liam Quin 2014-05-20 04:19:32 CEST

I am seeing this too; wherever I choose in the gnome time and date settings for timezone, I endup with the corresponding MLT (Mean Local Time) variant of the timezone.

I think this is because MLT was added to the *start* of all the tiemzone files maybe.

The date command in gnome-terminal gives the correct result, but the gnome-shell clock display does not.

Noticed the following: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332

It has a pretty technical explanation of what glib is doing wrong.

Comment 15 Olivier Blin 2014-05-24 01:39:09 CEST

Patches from upstream bgo#730332 merged in 2.40.0-2.mga5

I confirm this fixes the issue in gnome-shell.
