Double timezone. How to delete one?

  • 772

After upgrading from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10, my clock was always one hour fast. I issued the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Current default time zone: 'Europe/Brussels'
Local time is now:      Mon Dec 30 11:52:06 CET 2013.
Universal Time is now:  Mon Dec 30 10:52:06 UTC 2013.

The time is correct now, but I notice a double time-zone in the clock-applet. How can I remove the other one?

Note that cat /etc/timezone returns Europe/Brussels. The Copenhagen-entry isn't specified. However if one clicks on the clock-applet on the Brussels-value, the Brussels-value disappears and only the Copenhagen-entry is left. Now this entry appears in /etc/timezone.

  1. Install dconf Editor.

    Select com -> canonical -> indicator -> datetime

    The field show-auto-detected-location was set. After untagging this field, both timezones were no longer displayed
