Only CC'ing KDE team now, I'll assign to the base system maintainers or to KDE team later (depending on whether I see something similar in Xfce after updating, or not) CC:

kde, marja11 Well - actually you can remove point 2 from my bug report as it is probably a result of point 3 - so to be more correct: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install timezone-2018d-2.mga7 update 2. launch drakclock and note that although timezone is set (here) to Europe/Tallinn it displays computer time (set to UT here) - timezone is not taken into account 3. note that also Plasma Desktop panel clock is empty - no time there I had misunderstood what you wrote about drakclock. I cannot reproduce any of the issues here with Xfce and timezone Europe/Amsterdam. I only found it odd that, before testing, hwclock showed 2018-04-19 09:38:53.905550+02:00 which was one our behind the real time and also one hour behind the time that drakclock and the Xfce panel showed. After changing my timezone to Europe/Talinn with drakclock, while selecting to use NTP and then closing drakclock and opening it again, Talinn time is still shown correctly. I've tried two different ntp servers, one close to you and one close to me, and both were good. After doing the above hwclock showed 2018-04-19 12:04:51.655563+03:00 and after reverting to Europe/Amsterdam it 2018-04-19 11:08:06.702459+02:00. It shows the same (apart from the minutes/seconds etc, of course), regardless of whether I tell drakclock that my system uses GMT time, or not. I have no idea what happened on your system :-( CC'ing mageiatools and basesystem maintainers. CC:

timezone-2018d-2.mga7 update causes empty plasma panel clock and drakclock does not take timezone into account No ntp servers used here yet - just as time&date was set during install: hardware clock set to UT and local timezone Europe/Tallinn Decided to try once more the timezone-2018d-2.mga7 update. This time everything went OK - drakclock displayed local time according to the time zone and plasma panel clock was populated with correct local time. No idea, what it was at first update...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll leave this report open for a while, in case someone else hits the same problem with this update, but let's set it to unconfirmed for now. Status:
NEW =>
UNCONFIRMED The bug was in the first attempted update to 2018d of this package which wiped out your /etc/localtime symlink. It should be fine if you upgrade from the mga6 version to the current version now. Resolution:
(none) =>
