detect current timezone set by kde

Hello,
can someone please tell me how can I programatically detect the timezone
information that has been set through kde?

basically, I have a small pyqt4 app which shows the current time. however
it shows me my system time (dunno where that is stored; basically it shows
me time in IST). however, I'm right now in hk and would like the app to
show me time in my current timezone (hong kong). Any guidelines how may I
go about doing this?

thanks a lot in advance :-)

I recently installed MySQL 4.0.18 on my slackware 9.1 machine (kernel 2.4.25) by compiling the source. It works fine, and all tests pass except one. The timezone test. Can someone tell me why I'm getting this error? Is there something with the TZ variable I have to set for the shell? I think its EDT right now. timezone Errors are (from /custompath/mysql/mysql-test/var/log/mysqltest-time)

Hi! If I correctly understand v7.4 manual, value, say, '2003-11-26 12:00' in TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIMEZONE column should output '2003-11-26 19:00' for "+08:00" timezone. The following test results seem to be somewhat unexpected. Restting OS timezone (/etc/timezone and /etc/localtime in Linux) does not make the results more comfortable.

I have the following code for a clock in my gui. Everything works fine EXCEPT the following line when the TimeZone is changed in the windows. string tz = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName; It will not pick the changed timezone but it does pick up time change due to timezone change.

When a timestamp string input contains a timezone abbreviation (CDT, PST, etc), which timezone offset is used? The input date's or today date's? The result on my computer suggests the latter. # create table ts (ts timestamptz); # insert into ts values ('2004-10-17 00:00:00 CDT'); -- UTC-5 # insert into ts values ('2004-11-17 00:00:00 CDT'); -- UTC-6 # select ts at time zone 'utc' from ts; timezone ---------------------

Recently there has been some discussion about attaching a timezone to a timestamp and some other discussion about including a 'day' part in the interval type. These two features impact each other, since if you add a 'day' to a timestamp the result can depend on what timezone the timestamp is supposed to be in. It probably makes more sense to use a timezone associated with the timestamp than say the timezone GUC or the fixed timezone UTC. ...

Hello: I would like it so that the time displayed was always for CDT/CDS. Potentially, the application can be run at locations in Mountain Time or Central Time. This is what I have now: // get the UTC offset depending on day light savings double hourOffset = DateTime.Now.IsDaylightSavingTime() ? -5 : -6; DateTimeOffset offset = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToOffset(TimeSpan.FromHours(hourOffset));

I have a situation on a DB server where the "current timestamp" command shows the actual system time offset by one hour, which has never been noticed before?!? The DB2 is V9.1 (FP03), running on AIX 5.3. System timezone is offset by one hour to GMT, but this shouldn't cause such behavior. # echo $TZ NFT-1DFT,M3.5.0,M10.5.0

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
