I have kind of an odd problem. The time in my Unity bar is right, but the time in bash is 2 hours ahead.

$ date
Wed Jun 20 15:31:55 CDT 2012

Unity bar:

Wed Jun 20 13:31:55

Here are my etc configs:

$ cat /etc/timezone
America/Los_Angeles

locale:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Finally, I tried $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and setting it to "Los_Angeles".

Has anyone seen anything like this?
