The problem is the time is not synchronized when the timezone is changed or when next is clicked to carry on to the suggested partition screen.

The time is not changed if you have localtime set, time zones affect the time only for UTC. But I'm quite lost in this report.

To clarify :- In kde I click the install icon and the license agreement screen is displayed, I check the checkbox and click next, then the timezone setup screen is displayed with USA New York preselected and at this point the utc box is unchecked and I have noted that the time in the kde clock has been set 2 hours back from SAST (GMT +2)

So right now (before any time altering): YaST shows localtime (UTC is unchecked) and kde clock shows a wrong time? So the time in KDE clock is different from the one in YaST? Or when the YaST time zone screen is opened, KDE clock changes the time (before you do any changes to the setting)?

So the bug is :-

b) The Johannesburg time zone setting is not honoured.

Again, when UTC is not checked, time zone setting is not honoured, that is correct (but maybe I did not read it correctly and you've changed it). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After aborting installation the live cd cmos clock changes to New York time but on shutdown the time remains at UTC obviously. I don't know if the installer accesses my root drive and picks settings from there or if it simply recognizes that my cmos clock is set to UTC by comparing with ntp.

Installation media should not upset cmos clock when installation is aborted.

That's hard to achieve, because now the hardware clock is updated right after adjusting system clock (e.g. by ntp) and the abort could be theoretically anywhere, so it's hard to tell to which place we should delay the hw clock change. However, it would be correct if we were able to write the correct time there. Now, to the logfiles. I assume you are not testing during the night so the correct time you've started YaST was about 10:39:42. Than, during some initialization, YaST assumed first UTC time (as universal default) with default time zone (US/Eastern) and changed the time for the first time: 2008-11-11 10:39:53 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] Timezone.ycp:250 Set cmd /usr/sbin/zic -l US/Eastern 2008-11-11 05:39:53 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] Timezone.ycp:251 Set ret $["exit":0, "stderr":"", "stdout":""] (This behavior is not correct, btw. I'll provide a patch) Later, it found out that you have Windows partition, correctly expected that you are using local time and changed it back: 2008-11-11 05:40:12 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] clients/inst_timezone.ycp:26 windows partition found: assuming local time .. 2008-11-11 05:40:12 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] Timezone.ycp:255 Set cmd /sbin/hwclock --hctosys --localtime 2008-11-11 10:40:12 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] Timezone.ycp:256 Set ret $["exit":0, "stderr":"", "stdout":""] So it looks we are at good place again, but whoa, now NTP strikes: 2008-11-11 10:40:14 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] clients/ntp-client_proposal.ycp:214 Running sntp to sync with 2.opensuse.pool.ntp.org 2008-11-11 03:40:15 <1> linux(4493) [YCP] clients/ntp-client_proposal.ycp:219 'sntp 2.opensuse.pool.ntp.org' returned 0 Now we have 03:40:15, which is most probably wrong again. Martin, do you have an idea why sntp changed the time this way? Did it incorrectly assumed the local time/UTC status (which could be caused by the previous actions done by YaST)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The time in kde clock jumps from 8:00 to 13:00 ie to GMT +5 hours and not minus as before. The timezone window still has New York time, after a short while the kde clock is set to GMT / UTC or 6:00. I abort installation and restart from logout menu and cmos clock is still set to GMT -5 When I aborted installation kde clock displayed UTC obviously from ntp but after shutting down the cmos clock was again GMT -5 Is there a way to preserve shutdown log? I repeated the above steps, checked the utc checkbox and then set the timezone to Johannesburg and the kde clock and the timezone window clock were then set to 23:00 0r GMT -17 what I would do in a case like this is use the change button to reset the time but something is going wrong somewhere. I have logged out and from console inited to runlevel 1 and saved logs. The cmos clock was still on New York time after shutdown. Wouldn't it be better to save the difference between UTC and hardware clock and restore that on abort? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I now repeat above opperation and click next to partition screen, kde clock displays UTC -5 but timezone displayed as Johannesburg. I abort and wait for 1 minute for clock to change and see no change. Open kde clock settings menu and without altering anything, closed again. Kde clock now displays SAST and is correct. Shut down and check cmos clock and note it is correct. My opensuse 11.1 box behaved much the same as above when I checked it the second time except when I checked the utc checkbox the time displayed was reset to correct New York time UTC -5 - set timezone to Johannesburg and in timezone window correct SAST displayed or UTC +2. I then clicked next to partition screen and experienced the exact same behavior as Vista box. I then logged out switched to console login and init to runlevel 1.
