I'm having time offset issues in various applications on guix system. My timezone is set to (operating-system (host-name "swift") (timezone "Africa/Johannesburg") (locale "en_US.utf8") Which in terminal is correct ds@swift ~ $ date Sun 12 Apr 2020 09:54:27 PM SAST So I'm +0200, yet many applications report there time in UTC which is frustrating. Apps being: - qutebrowser - ungoogled-chromium icecat works, when the privacy feature (ResistFingerprinting) is disabled in about:config . I was chatting to the maintainer of qutebrowser, str1ngs, on #guix and he did not have the same issue on his guix system. Which is really strange. He tried various debugging with me and in the end I think he said: divansantana and QDateTime works as well [21:12] it's something qtwebenine or javascript related My locale, in case that's relevant: $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= I test the browser timezone via browsing to https://play.grafana.org/ for instance. But I've noticed the issue in multiple sites. Perhaps this is a separate issue but in notmuch I notice similar: In some emails it gives time in UTC Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2020 12:55:21 +0000 While other emails it gives +0200 time.
