I use kalarm for a lot of stuff even though I have a Gnome desktop. It works great.
But ever since I upgraded my main desktop computer to F10 all of the alarms have been going off several hours early.
I just found out why. Under "Settings - Configure kalarm - Time and Date", the timezone is set to UTC and that's the only option that's presented to me. Clicking on the down-arrow beside the box gives me one option: UTC.
How can I fix this?

Interesting....
I have F10 installed and I get all of the time zones in the pull down menu. I also did not check "System Clock it UTC" at install time. My system is running as Asia/Taipei.

Do you have all of KDE installed? In other words, do you have a KDE desktop?
If so, then perhaps it's a Gnome-integration thing where kalarm is looking for a timezone setting that I don't have on my Gnome desktop.

Yes, I am a KDE user so I have the whole of KDE installed...or at least most of it. Kalarm worked as expected in KDE as well as the just tested Gnome.

That leads me to suspect that kalarm is probably looking for some kde configuration data that I don't have on my Gnome installation.

do not have kalarm in this install.
i imagine you would need to put it in a file in '/home/geo-sl/.kde/share/config'.
do not know which. maybe a kde user using kalarm can reply where.
peace out.

Just found the same issue when trying to runn kalarm in gnome.
The solution was to install korganizer, then I executed it, I closed kalarm, I opened it again and voila I had all the time zones.
