When the time is stored in UTC in the system (yast), we can change the timezone as a non-root user, otherwise we can't (or that is how I remember it). Windows does not store time in UTC and so in multi-boot machines, changing timezone is not possible, as a normal user.
This is how I remember this. But I may be wrong and could not verify now. Just check once if time is stored in UTC in yast and then try to see if you can change the timezone.

Attempting to follow your steps: 1. Click on System Settings 2. Click on YaST icon 3. Administrator password dialog pops up. Guess that didn't work. :-) Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
