But that gives me a few avenues to explore. Thanks!
Okay, so this is a workaround. What I ended up doing was symlinking (manually) /usr/share/zoneinfo/myrelevanttimezone to /etc/localtime. After that, because it still bothered me that it didn't work for me as it did other people. I unmasked the systemd-timedated.service with the command: systemctl unmask systemd-timedated.service Now, it works as John described. I'm not sure why it was masked, though. Perhaps fodder for a future enquiry. Although I am glad that I have the right time zone now. :^) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
