[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.
