Re: [SHR-unstable] wrong timezone setting
I think its otimed thats doing it - tried to set my timezone over 3000 km from where I am, and tried to sync time with somewhere in Germany (I am in Australia) There is a way to turn this off with a couple of lines in /etc/frameworkd.conf - search the wiki for that file and it should explain the relevant lines. I really should raise a bug about otimed as its a really bad piece of design in a number of areas (using a fixed IP, using gsm to set time, one shot time setting, ...) but I dont have a lot of confidence in raising a bug for issues like this - it'll just get ignored.

As far as I can see there is a wrapper in /etc/timezone, where a timezone should be written. Put there 'Europe/Moscow'(without quotes) and u have to restart to make changes to it. It seems that symlinking /usr/share/zoneinfo/whateverzone to /etc/localtime is dangerous as the FSO wrapper edits the file /etc/localtime. So instead of restarting the phone u may just copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow to /etc/localtime and check with $(date) command that shows that tz has correctly changed to MSD. But if u restart, soon after entering the PIN the timezone will fall back to EET. It always falls back to EET. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- William Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au Home in Perth! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It is a bit - reading code does that to me :( Sorry.

Re: [SHR-unstable] wrong timezone setting
Just looked through the example frameworkd.conf and there aren't any examples of using either the locally configured timezone or manually setting it in frameworkd.conf. Is there a way ?

Re: [SHR-unstable] wrong timezone setting
Yes, there is a description on frameworkd.conf on the wiki. Really, should be a commented example in the frameword.conf file itself - would be a lot easier for users.
