[Bug 1093392] New: yast2 timezone does not change /etc/sysconfig/clock correctly
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1093392 Bug ID: 1093392 Summary: yast2 timezone does not change /etc/sysconfig/clock correctly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: P.Suetterlin@royac.iac.es QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I just came home 1 hour early - the clock on my computer had been wrong. I work in two timezones, summer in Atlantic/Canary and winter in Europe/Stockholm. When I switch, I adjust the timezone using 'yast2 timezone'. I did this April 1. Today, after updating Tumbleweed (20180502->20180513) my timezone had been changed back to Stockholm (which I did not notice, and leave early....). It turned out that /etc/sysconfig/clock contains TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="US/Eastern" and obviously some setup (likely from the timezone package, though there was nothing reported in the zypper log) used this to set the timezone and change the link /etc/localtime->/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Stockholm So I just changed the timezone back using yast, and after that /etc/localtime correctly points to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Atlantic/Canary again, and I have the correct time. However, /etc/sysconfig/clock still contains TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm", although it does have the timestamp when I called yast to change the TZ. Yast seems to have written the wrong (old) information to the file. It must be an older bug already (at least since April 1) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
