Testing a newly upgraded Ubuntu 20.04 system with the MATE desktop installed.

The panel clock normally shows the desired US Central Time. But every now and then it sneakily reverts to UTC - This screenshot was taken at 7:30 am local

enter image description here

When I click on the clock and select Time and Date settings, the proper timezone is shown, and the panel clock goes back to US Central Time. I don't make any changes to Date and Time Settings, simply call it up.

It's like the clock says, darn I got caught, and goes back to the normal time zone.

How can I fix this prankish panel clock?

Edit: more info - the problem seems to be with the clock in "indicator-applet-complete" only, the standalone panel clock is fine.

    Just a shot in the dark are you maybe using a VPN?

  • @David there is a VPN client installed on the system, but I rarely use it. It wasn't in use at the time of the latest incident. Oct 6, 2021 at 13:01
  • What's in your /etc/default/crda file?

  • @heynnema the only non-commented-out line in that file is REGDOMAIN=. But this is a workstation and doesn't have a wifi card. Ethernet only. Oct 6, 2021 at 14:20
  • Try "REGDOMAIN=US"
