pop-os
Unable to adjust Date & Time
I'm unable to adjust the date & time. Also, setting the timezone doesn't seem to take affect. This issue is seen on an HP Dev One using the installer as of 2024/09/08.
I was experiencing the same issue on a fresh install of Pop!_OS 24.04 COSMIC Epoch 1 (alpha 1) NVIDIA version on a Dell Inspiron 7572. The problem persisted even after installing updates. The context window for selecting the timezone doesn't appear when clicking on the current timezone text ("Etc/UTC") or the ">" chevron icon.
For anyone needing a workaround:
List the available timezones using:
timedatectl list-timezones
Find the timezone you're in from the list of the previous command and set it using:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone your-timezone-here
Configuring timezones requires updates after installing the alpha. If you installed and updated recently, there is an issue in the version of Settings in the main repos where context drawers don't open. It's fixed if you're using popdev:master, but otherwise the fix will likely be pushed to the main repos on Monday.
Thank you so much, @git-f0x!
I can confirm that adding popdev:master to apt and reinstalling cosmic-settings fixed the issue for me. I'm not sure if it's the same problem for the original author of the issue.
I'll check back on Monday (i.e., tomorrow) when the main repos are updated and provide an update here.
UPDATE:
The latest main repos update didn’t include the upgrades for cosmic-settings that reflect the changes made to the popdev:master repo. As a result, I’m still experiencing the same issue. I’ll continue using popdev:master for now.
