I am unable to set the time in gnome. When i change it as a local user, it takes the settings, but doesn't save them. The system never asks me for the root password. If I login as root, it's the same behavior.

Code:

Did you boot on Systemd? It's look like a Dbus permissions problem. The file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop/timedate1.conf seem's to allow users to set the clock by default.

I use, with root permissions, the ntpdate command to set the system clock and hwclock -uw to set the hardware clock in UTC (recommanded). The /etc/conf.d/hwclock file have
Code:
clock="UTC"

for the system clock being set correctly at boot time from hardware clock according with the time zone of /etc/localtime. My .bashrc export the TZ environment variable to my localtime (America/Montreal).
Code:
export TZ='America/Montreal'

My actual system clock is fine. It is gnome, that is showing the wrong one. I tried UTC and local, but neither one is making a difference.
I didn't try the variable export.

I have a possibly similar issue, recently arrived after an upgrade (or possibly the clocks going forward, though I think I would have noticed it before if that was the case). The clock works fine from the command line, "date" says exactly what it should. Which is that the system clock is set to UTC, time-zone set to London in the neighbouring country of England so it correctly adds an hour for daylight saving to give the actual time.

The hardware clock is updated to the system clock time at shutdown and the system clock is kept timely by NTP (by enabling ntpdate.service).

Gnome recognises all that stuff, says what the time zone is but the time display on the top thingy gives me UTC not UTC + 1.

I tried using the machine before downgrading timezone-data. Boy does that bug create havoc, internet slowed to a crawl and gentoo file manager had a nervous breakdown. Fortunate that the clock display alerted me that something was wrong, otherwise I would have been scratching my head (or even tearing my hair out).
