Hi,
I had an issue with the local time on my astlinux box reporting in UTC
after the upgrade. Previously it was in PST/PDT. I read from the
release notes that TZ_TIMEZONE is no longer required, but I had
problems getting the timezone right.
In the end this is what I had to do:
1. edit /etc/rc and comment out the following:
#uclibc style TZ support
#if [ -z "$TZ_TIMEZONE" -a -f /etc/localtime ]; then
# TZ_TIMEZONE=$(tail -n1 /etc/localtime)
#fi
What was happening here is that the env variable $TZ_TIMEZONE didn't
exist after a reboot, and because /etc/localtime points to a valid
file, I was getting the following set:
pbx ~ # tail -n1 /etc/localtime
??eGY?e턠g';?g?f?i?i?H?j???k?e l?mvG n??oV) p??q65ԐV?: X?X? Y??Z??[\??
]??^d? _?y`Mޠa???b-??cgw?d/??EDm?E?? G-?Gӵ I
ro?s? tO?t?
?v8??v??x??x?͠y???z???{?f?|~??}?H?~^s??*????????????????
PDTPSTPWTPPTpbx ~ #
2. What I did was to write the file /mnt/kd/TZ with the following content:
PST8PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
and then /etc/rc will copy /mnt/kd/TZ to /tmp/etc/TZ as per:
if [ -n "$TZ_TIMEZONE" ]; then
echo "$TZ_TIMEZONE" > /tmp/etc/TZ
elif [ -f /mnt/kd/TZ ]; then
cp /mnt/kd/TZ /tmp/etc/TZ
elif [ -f /stat/etc/TZ ]; then
cp /stat/etc/TZ /tmp/etc/TZ
fi
3. The last part was to put in symlink for /etc/TZ pointing to
/tmp/etc/TZ and I fixed the problem.
Am I missing something here or is this problem with /etc/rc incorrect?
Having TZ_TIMEZONE in /mnt/kd/rc.local doesn't make any difference. Is
this a bug?
Thanks
Matt
