KDE clock always resets timezone to Vancouver

Every time I reboot, the timezone of the clock is set to Vancouver and the hour is wrong. I have to choose "Adjust Date & Time" and set the timezone to Brussels to get the correct time. Every time again. I haven't checked what the clock in the BIOS of my computer says, I hope it contains the actual time independent of timezones to avoid confusing situations.

Anyway, the only problem is that the timezone resets to Vancouver every time, it doesn't remember that I set it to Brussels. How can this be fixed?

Thanks.

It's KDE 3.5 btw.

Re: KDE clock always resets timezone to Vancouver

What timezone is set in /etc/rc.conf?

I think /etc/rc.conf defaults to Canada/Vancouver on install, and rc.conf is responsible for setting the system timezone every time you boot. The change you make in KDE is specifically for KDE and probably gets overwritten by the system preferences next time.

If /etc/rc.conf is still set to Canada/Vancouver simply replace that with Europe/Brussels and you should be good to go.
