Bug#1040251: debian-installer: Add UTC timezone selection for all locales
Cyril, Even better. Thanks. Currently in the process of translating things from Red Hat land to Debian, and this is now an non-issue with this information. Appreciate the responsiveness. I think it is safe to close this item as I have paths forward for what I am wishing to accomplish.

Bug#1040251: debian-installer: Add UTC timezone selection for all locales
Hi Cyril, Expert Installation provides the behavior I was looking for, specifically adding the extra option of UTC at the end of local timezones. There does seem to be quite a few extra steps involved in the expert install vs the normal install, especially if the only reason you are running expert mode is to just set the timezone to UTC. However, I do notice the non-expert installer is opinionated about a lot of options vs the expert installer, so if this has been decided as a feature folks don't normally use - then I think it is OK to be relegated to the expert installer (or have someone just use the preseed with the correct value / set the TZ post installation via configuration management or a `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata`). Appreciate the fast response. ./brent --- Original Message --- On Monday, July 3rd, 2023 at 14:37, Cyril Brulebois wrote: > > > Hi Brent, > > Brent Kolasinski b...@brentk.io (2023-07-03): > > > * What led up to the situation? > > When using the text based debian installer, I would like to be able to > > choose the UTC timezone (etc/UTC) as an option for my timezone.

Bug#1040251: debian-installer: Add UTC timezone selection for all locales
Package: debian-installer Version: 20230607 Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: b...@brentk.io Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? When using the text based debian installer, I would like to be able to choose the UTC timezone (etc/UTC) as an option for my timezone. When the timezones are displayed for selection, a set of timezones are displayed based on the user's locale selection. Users should have the option of selecting UTC in addition to the options present in their locale. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? When choosing en_us for my locale during installation, I am only presented with US specific time zones. If only presenting timezone associated with the users locale, UTC should also be present, as folks use UTC in many server deployments, regardless of their actual locale setting. * What was the outcome of this action? No UTC option is available in the installer. * What outcome did you expect instead? To have the UTC timezone available in addition to the locale specific timezones. In addition to the notes above, if using a preseed file, the timezone can be specified regardless of local information. This is specifically for interactive text based installation, where the system owner may want to use UTC instead of a local time zone. ./brent -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-9-arm64 (SMP w/1 CPU thread) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information
Bug#604096: xserver-xorg: freezes when running as dom0 under Xen 4.0 at startup
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.5+8 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Installing xserver-xorg with gnome (gdm3) in dom0 of a Xen 4.0 host causes the entire computer to freeze. When gdm3 starts up, the screen goes blank with a single cursor showing. I have tried this on multiple computers (all with nVidia graphics cards) with the same results. On one computer the cursor blinked rapidly, but still was completely unresponsive. The entire machine freezes up when this happens, without any ability to switch between VT's. The only resolution is a hard reset of the computer. The video driver being used in all cases was the nouveau driver included with squeeze. I am not sure if this is specific to the xserver, nouveau, gdm3, or Xen. I did not make any changes to the base system after install.
