Lotus iNotes: Ubuntu Time Zone

When we first start iNotes (on Ubuntu 8.0.4 and Firefox 3.0.16) it tries to find out its current time (and time zone). At this time, the error message is issued.

The cause of this symptom is that iNotes use "Windows' time zone table" and Ubuntu using "Olson time zone table" (used in UNIX systems including Mac/iPhone) are out of sync.

Windows is "E. South America" and in Olson is "America/Sao_Paulo".

To check this, i have change my timezone to Manaus that is ok, in Windows and Ubuntu, and works fine. Made the same test to Montevideo, and works fine too.

I have created a iNotes/Forms85_x.nsf and edited subform Custom_JS

function Custom_TimeZones(a_Table){  
     var browserX = navigator.userAgent;  
      if (/Ubuntu[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(browserX)){  
          if (/Firefox[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(browserX)){  
   a_Table[a_Table.length] = ["America/Sao_Paulo", "America/Sao_Paulo","(GMT-03:00) Sao Paulo", 3, true, "10, 3, 7, 2, 3, 1"];  
           }  
      }  
  
      return (a_Table);  
  }
