Gnome 3.38 displays incorrect time

Hey there,

I know this is or has been discussed here and that this is an issue of GNOME, but other distros seem to have already applied patches to fix the issue meanwhile Clear Linux had at least 2-3 updates and neither of them fixed the issue.

Is there at least an ETA to when this would’ve been fixed or a workaround?

Just to clarify, I mean this issue: timedatectl displays the local time correctly, while GNOME adds an hour extra. GNOME incorrectly assumes that the timezone in Prague is UTC+02 but it is currently UTC+01.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest solution is to learn to live with UTC time.

That’s like saying move into a country that uses UTC+00 to fix this. Not really acceptable.

bug P1

With: 1) Automatic Date & Time: ON 2) Automatic Time Zone: OFF my time is… currenly stuck on Summer daylight saving time, even though it should have changed last night. I'm in the London timezone, which should be BST in the Summer and GMT during the Winter. It currently remains on BST. Thought: It is also possible that this is due to assumptions made about when the switchover happens. In the UK this is usually a week or two before it happens in the US.

Probably this helps

Yes, the time is displaying correctly and the same as in timedatectl. Thank you very much.
