Problem has not been fixed and exists exactly as originally reported; the times in the web browser and the GTK client still do not match. Changed the status back from "Fix Released" to "In progress".
I tested all this with: OpenERP server and web client 6.0.2 running on Ubuntu server (32-bit) 10.10 Postgres 8.4 Windows GTK client 6.0.2 and web browser (Google Chrome) on WIndows 7 (64-bit) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711084 Title: [6.0,trunk] pytz zoneinfo missing from windows packaging - timezone conversion not working Status in OpenERP GTK Client: In Progress Status in OpenERP Web Client: Invalid Bug description: OpenERP server and web client 6.0.1 running on Ubuntu server (32-bit) 10.10 Postgres 8.4 Windows GTK client and web browser (Google Chrome) on WIndows 7 (64-bit) (Server and web client were set up as per http://powerphil.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/how-to-install-and- configure-an-openerp-6-0-1-server-and-web-server-on-an- ubuntu-10-10-server/). Problem is that the times shown in the GTK client are shown at GMT (unless the server's TZ environment variable is set), i.e. they ignore the user's Timezone preference. However, the web client works correctly. More details: Ubuntu server's time is correctly set to GMT. For example, if the time in London is 1am, the server's time also shows 1am (by doing a "date" on the command line, and the TZ environment variable is not set to anything). Both openerp-server and openerp-web processes are running without any TZ setting. Then log into OpenERP using a web browser; set the User's preference to Australia/Sydney; create a new Phone Call, Outbound; the time correctly shows 12 noon (GMT + 11 hours, Sydney currently being on summer time). Do the same in the GTK client; the time shows 1am - wrong; it should be 12 noon. --------- More information: So try to work around the problem: in the .bashrc file of the openerp user that runs the openerp-server process, set the TZ, viz: TZ='AEST-10AEDT-11,M10.5.0,M3.5.0' export TZ Restart the service; log into the GTK client; create a new phone call; the time now shows correctly (for the wrong reasons, admittedly). Go to the web browser and do the same thing; the time now shows 19 hours ahead of what it should be (on the next day!). Wrong. So it looks like the web client is taking timezone time into account, in addition to whatever the openerp-server is doing, and it should be the other way around: the openerp-server should be calculating the correct time, and the web server should just be presenting it. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
