Reminders 4 hours late...

Thunderbird Ereignisse

Hi, my Thunderbird calendar reminders are coming up 4 hours after the meeting.

Running Kubuntu. System locale/timezone OK, TBird set to use system time (though manually making it the same didn't help). HW Clock matches system time. Pacific/Auckland.

Tried exporting all my appointments and re-importing them - no change.

Thanks for that - $TZ was blank. Set it using "TZ='Pacific/Auckland' ; export TZ" in /etc/profile.d/timezone.sh and all seems to be working now.

Wonder if there is a similar issue to this case. https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1510593

Instead of 'Pacific/Auckland' try 'Pacific/NZDT'

PST is Pacific Time PST is 21:00 hours behind New Zealand - that's a 3 hour difference and maybe there is a daylight saving time involved which could explain the 4 hours.

Not an option in System Settings or Thunderbird for me. (Would also require changing back to NZST at end of daylight savings).

In the link the user changed the TZ setting on computer. They discovered the TZ setting was blank. Is that setting blank in your case? If you do not have a TZ setting then first try :

  • TZ=":/usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland"
