So the issue automagically solved itself, I suspect just by restarting
the computer. I don’t believe that the update that caused that restart
had anything to do with it, since the list of updated packages didn’t
seem to have anything to do with Evolution.

Lost opportunity to further investigate what was going on, on the other
hand my calendar is back in order.


Thanks,

Hi,
not really. I know of a regression in libical 3.0.15, but that's not
part of the Fedora and a fixed libical 3.0.16 will come soon.

The Fedora 36 did not update evolution* packages for some time now,
thus the only option is either some sort of local cache corruption or
some other package made an update, which confused the system. A
"tzdata" package comes on mind as one of the timezone related packages.

The timezone name you mentioned sounds like a Microsoft Exchange
timezone. I would verify that the timezone used in the Evolution is an
expected time zone (it should, but just in case). Then you can try to
move away (not delete) ~/.cache/evolution/calendar/ directory and then
execute from a terminal:

   evolution --force-shutdown

which will stop also the background processes and then next time you
open the calendar it'll download the events into its local cache from
scratch, maybe fixing the cache content this hard way. Whether it'll
help or not I do not know. If it'll be worse, then return back the
moved directory from the above and do the force shutdown again, to
return back to where it was.

Bye,
Milan

[Evolution] Wrong time zone shown on some events in calendar

2022-10-18 Thread Vincent Hennebert via evolution-list
Hello,

Evolution 3.44.4 on Fedora 36.

Today Evolution has suddenly started to show some events shifted on my
calendar. It’s a local ics calendar stored on my file system.

I see the following in the ics:

    DTSTART;TZID=Eastern Standard Time:20210629T083000
    DTEND;TZID=Eastern Standard Time:20210629T095000

Yet when I open it in the UI the Time zone field contains ‘Dublin,
Edinburgh,Lisbon, London’, which is not even my system time zone
(CEST). So the event is showing up 5h too early on my calendar.

Not all events are wrong though. I have one in the ‘(UTC-08:00) Pacific
Time (US & Canada)’ that’s showing up at the right time in the UI.

Any idea of what’s going on?

Thanks,
Vincent
