any sample for test

procedure showOffset;
var
  val: Integer;
begin
  val:= GetLocalTimeOffset; // or any other with options
  ShowMessage(val.ToString);
end;

Did your set to your OS your local time ?

Yes.
On Ubuntu 20.04 same problem as on Ubuntu 21.04. So not problem in OS.
Function Now() and NowUTC() return 0 both.

I have tested the code above and get, as expected, -60 for the time offset of one hour.

Xubuntu 20.04 and latest CT.

Works as expected on Windows 10 as well, -60 for me being a Dutchman.

ShowMessage(DateTimeToStr(Now));
or
ShowMessage(DateTimeToStr(NowUTC));

Now 8:45 in Moscow (in systray), but functions Now() and NowUTC() show 5:45 both

Can I specify the time zone manually? Or how else can you force the compiled program to determine the correct timezone?
The project is on fire! We urgently need to do something!

In Windows 10 it works as it should. In Ubuntu 20.04, Gnome 3.36 does not work as expected.

  s: string;
begin
  s:= DateTimeToStr(Now)+' UTC:'+DateTimeToStr(LocalTimeToUniversal(Now));
  Label1.Caption:= s;

CT 7.0 works as it should.
There is no time to conduct more experiments. I remain until the delivery of the project on CT 7.0

Sir
after today update from FPC SVN: 49001   more info

With the above source, I get this

 


On Fedora 33 with the same Local time with your local time (UTC+3)

Just download from SVN the file :
rtl\unix\timezone.inc
and replace the CT file:
codetyphon/fpcsrc/rtl/unix/timezone.inc

Rebuild ALL (FPC and Typhon)

We try hard to offer "On User Side Real Time Support", but sometime we want help ...

hello, i am new to CT and was searching for some practice.
i did played abit with code and for windows this solution came out, maybe usfull or not, you decide, for me just fun to do :)
program Project1;

uses Windows, SysUtils, DateUtils;

// include winapi methods
function TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime(lpTimeZoneInformation: PTimeZoneInformation; var lpLocalTime, lpUniversalTime: TSystemTime): BOOL; stdcall; external kernel32 name 'TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime';
function SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime(lpTimeZoneInformation: PTimeZoneInformation; var lpUniversalTime, lpLocalTime: TSystemTime): BOOL; stdcall; external kernel32 name 'SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime';

// convert local time to UTC
function DateTimeToUTC(const Local: TDateTime): TDateTime;
var
  TZI: TTimeZoneInformation;
  LocalTime,
  UniversalTime: TSystemTime;
begin
  GetTimeZoneInformation(TZI);
  DateTimeToSystemTime(Local, LocalTime);
  TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime(@TZI, LocalTime, UniversalTime);
  Result := SystemTimeToDateTime(UniversalTime);
end;

// convert UTC to local time
function UTCToLocalDateTime(const UTC: TDateTime): TDateTime;
var
  TZI: TTimeZoneInformation;
  LocalTime,
  UniversalTime: TSystemTime;
begin
  GetTimeZoneInformation(TZI);
  DateTimeToSystemTime(UTC, UniversalTime);
  SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime(@TZI, UniversalTime, LocalTime);
  Result := SystemTimeToDateTime(LocalTime);
end;

// example usage
var
  Local,
  UTC: TDateTime;
begin
  Local := Now;
  UTC := DateTimeToUTC(Local);
  WriteLn('Local:  ' + DateTimeToStr(Local));
  WriteLn('UTC:    ' + DateTimeToStr(UTC));
  WriteLn('Offset: ' + IntToStr(SecondsBetween(Local, UTC) div 60 div 60));
  ReadLn;
end.

It's nice that you like what I've done there.
My source texts are unfortunately only suitable for windows.
Certainly there are methods in the existing libraries that achieve the same thing.
But I'm a little stubborn and usually go my own way.
I'll see what there is in the forum for questions.
If something appeals to me, especially with regard to windows and its api methods, i will tinker something.
If you are satisfied with what I offer, a small click on "thankyou" is enough to give me more incentive.
(For me, that reflects how well something is received or rejected.)
I don't want to violate forum rules, is there a kind of time limit until when you can answer a topic if you have perhaps found a better solution?
(I only picked this topic out because it was only a week old.)

Please forgive my spelling mistakes or the wrong sentence structure.
And please do not call me "Sir", call me KodeZwerg or in abbreviated form Kode.
