Re: [SOLVED] Plank wont start!!

Please post outputs in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

Looks like you didn't set your timezone correctly see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … #Time_zone

Sure !!!
Well this has solved my issue...but I m from India so my timezone would be Asia/Kolkata.
[timedatectl set-timezone Canada/Eastern]
So timezone in Canda Work
But for Asia/Kolkata it says invalid timezone.When its already shown in the lists of timezone available.

Re: [SOLVED] Plank wont start!!

Can you post the output of

timedatectl

with the correct setting for your timezone? Is the time itself correctly set as well? You will want to ensure these properly match up.

Edit: Ah glad to hear.
