[Michał Sawicz]

Steps:
* set a timezone in settings app
* reboot

Expected:
* time is correct and datetime indicator shows the timezone

Current:
* time is in UTC and datetime indicator shows UTC

Thanks but what desktop/device is that? is that on the phone? also the indicator doesn't set timezones that's done through the systemd helpers, is the system tz also incorrect or is it only a rendering issue in the indicator?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Sorry, yes it's on the phone. I've added some details to the description.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

I'm not sure why the timezone isn't set correctly in the shell, but it's the same on vivid, so it does seem to be an indicator issue alone.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Oh but I also just realized the indicator sends dates in UTC I think, so it might be a unity8/Qt issue after all.

Was this xenial only or vivid too?

You mention xenial in the subject but then vivid on a comment.

I just tried on a vivid+overlay phone and it seemed to work fine, can you try again?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Xenial only, my comment about vivid meant the indicator is the same in vivid, not that the issue is there in vivid.
