System clock (Clock 2.4.2)

This is a discussion about System clock (Clock 2.4.2) in the Everything Linux category; I have only been running linux for about a month, and until this week everything was great. Now, my system clock (in the tray) will only show GMT time. If I open the Adjust date and time dialog, it shows the proper time GMT-4 for EDT.

I have only been running linux for about a month, and until this week everything was great. Now, my system clock (in the tray) will only show GMT time. If I open the "Adjust date and time" dialog, it shows the proper time GMT-4 for EDT. I have changed every setting I can find (and changed it back) with no luck. Any ideas?

how about right-click on the clock -> Show Timezones -> Configure Timezones ?
 
make sure the system timezone is set right.
 
then go back to Show Timezones and make sure "Local timezone" is selected.
 
I don't recall if you can just logout and log back in again to reset your session's
idea of the system timezone or if you must restart the whole system.
