Re: [Astlinux-users] Timezone issues upgrading to astlinux 0.7.0

2010-01-21 Thread Tom Chadwin
Hi Matthew

Without wanting to confuse matters too much in my ignorance, here are a
couple of points:

1. Never edit any non /mnt/kd files (there are two exceptions: see
http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_editable_files). The majority of the
Astlinux file system is rebuilt via script on reboot, and many system and
Asterisk files are in fact symlinks.

2. When you use the GUI to change timezone settings, this writes to
/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf - did you check what was present in this
location, if anything?

It can be confusing to work out exactly where the .conf files which are used
actually are. See the note highlighted in yellow on the DAHDI page:

http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:dahdi

I've certainly managed to get correct timezone settings entirely via the
GUI, never touching enything via CLI.

Hope this helps

Tom

PS  An outside chance - is your problem definitely with the system time, and
not just with the timestamping of CDR entries? See
http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:faq#the_cdr_tab_gives_time_in_the_wrong_time
zone

 Subject: [Astlinux-users] Timezone issues upgrading to astlinux 0.7.0
 
 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?e?g';?g?f?i?i?H?j???k?e l?mvG n??oV) p??q65?V?: X?X? Y??Z??[?\??

   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

2010-01-21 Thread Lonnie Abelbeck
Matt,

I appears you are using the web interface, in the Network tab - Network Time 
Settings: what Timezone City did you choose?

To test I chose America/Los_Angeles from the menu, then rebooted, and...

pbx ~ # tail -n1 /etc/localtime
PST8PDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0

which is used as TZ_TIMEZONE.

There are a handful of cities around the world that TZ_TIMEZONE=$(tail -n1 
/etc/localtime) is not a part of the timezone data, for those users TZ_TIMEZONE 
must be set in /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf (for web interface users, Network 
tab - User System Variables: {Edit User Variables}) or /mnt/kd/rc.conf (if 
/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d does not exist)

Matt, please revert your changes:

$ rm /oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/rc

and give it another try.

/etc/localtime is a symlink to /tmp/etc/localtime which is also a 
symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin in my case.

/etc/TZ does not exist (but I still have an /mnt/kd/TZ which may be 
left over from an old installation).

If you have any more files than shown above, they probably should be removed.

 I have defaulted everything back and it still does not seem to work

Matt,

I have another test for you...

Does...
$ find /oldroot/mnt/asturw/usr/share/zoneinfo/

return anything?

If so, remove the stale unionfs overlay for the TZ data, and reboot.

$ rm -r /oldroot/mnt/asturw/usr/share/zoneinfo/

Well Matt, I suspect you put those files there. :-)  It may be long enough ago 
you forgot about them.

To look for stale 'cruft', try...

$ find /oldroot/mnt/asturw/ | grep -v '/oldroot/mnt/asturw/mnt/kd'

You should not get too much more than the following...
--
/oldroot/mnt/asturw/
/oldroot/mnt/asturw/lost+found
/oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc
/oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/blkid.tab

Do some cleanup if necessary.

Years ago you may of needed to manually update the 'zoneinfo data' before there 
was a new version of AstLinux available, and in the past the upgrade process 
was somewhat painful.

But today, Darrick regularly puts out new versions, and the upgrade process is 
straightforward via the repository.

In the future, there should be no reason to manually overlay data over the 
shipping filesystem.

Glad all is good.

I don't recall putting these files there, but I have been using
astlinux for quite a while, since 0.4 days. I have never knowingly
installed anything other than the official astlinux distributions on
this box.

Anyhow

Thanks for the help
