orage outputs CRITICAL gtk errors related to timezone
Status:
CLOSED: DUPLICATE

Description Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2008-02-26 07:17:19 CET
A debian user reported [0] that Orage was outputting gtk critical message in the console, related to timezone.

I can reproduce here, and it seems related to events timezone and not the timezone configured in orage (changing it doesn't change the messages).

I can see:
** (orage:12264): CRITICAL **: convert_to_timezone: builtin timezone /softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/Paris not found, conversion failed.

By the way, orage is really verbose in console at the moment, it'd be nice if it was a bit quieter.

Thanks for the work.

Cheers,

Can I see the orage.ics file, please.
It seems like the timezone entry is corrupted.
It should only be the Europe/Paris instead of the full path.

Also the full path looks strange. It should not contain Tzfile but instead
Olson_20011030_5


About verbosity....There is an undocumented parameter 
Logging level
in the ~/.config/orage/oragerc file.
Set that 50 or even to 100 and there will be much less messages.

Logging level=60

Mine are generated by evolution so maybe there's a problem here. I'll ask the user if he can provide a simple ics file, and will try to reproduce here with a simple one.

Btw, for the logging level, 0 is max and 100 is min? Could a default be set to something quieter anyway? :)

Evolution seems to use different timezones indeeed.
It is fairly easy to make Orage compatible for those.

But the original error report is clearly a corruption and it really would help to 
know if somebody can reproduce it or if it was created with earlier release
of Orage. There has been bugs in the timezone selection, but those should be
fixed in the current releases. Earlier corruptions in data, however, are not
fixed.

Ok. That would be nice :) (do you want me to open another "wishlist" bug for this?)

I've asked the initial bug reporter an sample ics file, I'll report back when I have it.

Cheers,

That would be nice actually. There may be more than the timezone compatibility
issue and new BUB would make it much clearer than combining it there.

HMhmh, the user reported that it was only an “old” Orage file.
Comment 7 juha editbugs 2008-03-03 07:22:52 CET
Then it is known and fixed issues. Orage 4.3 could create corrupted timezones.

This is then duplicate of: Bug 2441 - crash on selecting timezones
