[Bug 617861] New: Timezone not set at early installation, thus NTP time is wrong
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617861 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617861#c0 Summary: Timezone not set at early installation, thus NTP time is wrong Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 7 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: trenn@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- This is even before installation when you configure the time and timezone. I modified the timezone from an American one to Europe->Germany. I then wanted to set the NTP server by using the chaNge button. The time was retrieved from the NTP, but because the timezone was not set yet, the time was wrong by several hours. I could fix this at runtime by doing: mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-old ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime and setting "Berlin" in: /etc/sysconfig/clock TIMEZONE="Berlin" Then going back to the Yast2 Window and refreshing the time through NTP gave me the right time. This was in text mode, but it should be the same with an X driven Yast installation. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is even before installation when you configure the time and timezone.
You mean you've booted live media and changed it before starting installation from it? Or what was the situation?> I then wanted to set the NTP server by using the chaNge button.
The time was retrieved from the NTP, but because the timezone was not set yet, the time was wrong by several hours.
The time zone should be saved before calling NTP, but not in case of live installation... currently I'm not sure why. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's rather easy to reproduce and I found out some more. The X-window with the fancy map is not affected. If you run yast in non-graphical mode, choose: System->"Date and Time" If you switch between continents, you see the time gets adjusted. If you switch between states (e.g. choose USA, and jump between states), the time(zone) does not get adjusted. It gets adjusted if you hit the enter button, but nobody is doing that on a non-graphical installation. Instead you hit ALT-n (in my case/language for Change) and the wrong timezone is taken over. The defect is that if you synchronize the time there with NTP you see the wrong time, because of the wrong taken over zone. The zone is still adjusted correctly if you leave the dialog and afterwards the time is correct. It's confusing but not "that" sever. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Another minor issue I found while testing/playing with this: When I am in the dialog to change the time, I have two options: - Manually - Synchronize with NTP Server The default is "Manually". When I change things to: [x] Synchronize with NTP Server [x] Run NTP as daemon [x] Save NTP Configuration The NTP daemon is not started and when I come back to this dialog, the setting is back to "Manually". What helps is to enter the extended NTP "Configure" dialog and enable NTP daemon there, then the settings are really taken over and the NTP daemon gets activated. The same the other way around: If default setting is changed to "Synchronize with NTP Server" via the extended NTP configure dialog and I set it back to "Manually" time setting, the setting gets ignored again and NTP server/daemon is still used. Eventually we could have another chat, it's hard to explain this via bugzilla. If it's again not that hard to fix, it would be nice get it done. Anyway, the patch in comment #7 fixes this bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
