When i try to run plank i get the same output in termina:

(process:8317): GLib-CRITICAL (recursed) **: init_zone_from_iana_info: assertion 'size >= sizeof (struct tzhead) && memcmp (header, "TZif", 4) == 0' failedAborted (core dumped)

If someone knows the problem or what i need to do, please help me.

The  "plank -d" command gave me the same output :

(process:8904): GLib-CRITICAL (recursed) **: init_zone_from_iana_info: assertion 'size >= sizeof (struct tzhead) && memcmp (header, "TZif", 4) == 0' failedAborted (core dumped)

i just found out that even Docky cant start. when i start it, it gives me some unhandled exception.
Maybe it's some missing dependent package, that both needs ? any ideas please ?

Re: Can't start plank on arch Gnome 3.12

the answer to this lies in changing your time zone.. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time
timedatectl set-timezone "your/timezone"
then reboot then set the time manually with the same timedatectl command because it will most likely be wrong.
this is what worked for me to solve this problem.
