[arch-general] Orca reading date/time stamps different then the time zone set on my system.
Good morning all, I am using the latest thunderbird under arch linux and have an announce I would like to get resolved. In the message list, orca speaks the time and date header as if my time zone were 4 hours hours ahead. My time zone is set to America/New_York. Everything else shows up and works fine but orca reads time stamps differently Is there a way to fix this. This is very strange and have not seen this before. All of my locales are set to en_US.UTF-8. Thanks. Matthew
Do you have /etc/localtime on your system? If not, you'll need to make it. If you were in eastern time zone in united states: ln -s /usr/share/timezoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime would do it. Then reboot.
Use timedatectl from systemd to set and check the timezone. timedatectl set-timezone $TIMEZONE to set timedatectl list-timezone to list timedatectl status to check I also suggest to check the time writen in time & date header just in case it is wrong.

Hi, Thanks. All is well. Turns out time zone was in UTC. Also I fixed it to use NTPD and now all is well. Matthew On 4/28/21 10:57 AM, Marc Pervaz Boocha via arch-general wrote:
