[Bug 1206199] Re: /etc/localtime incorrect link created by dateandtime kcm
** Description changed: - Setting the timezone in the timeanddate kcm (by right clicking the clock and going to configuration) copies a file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/region/city. - So for example it tries copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin -- This file however is a link pointing to ../posix/Europe/Berlin. As the file gets copied to /etc/localtime the symlink is wrong. - This results in a bad timezone and time (as it defaults to UTC on a wrong /etc/localtime file). + Setting the timezone in the timeanddate kcm (by right clicking the clock and going to configuration) copies a file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/region/city. + So for example it tries copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin -- This file however is a link pointing to ../posix/Europe/Berlin.

This bug was fixed in the package kde-workspace - 4:4.11.1-0ubuntu5 --- kde-workspace (4:4.11.1-0ubuntu5) saucy; urgency=low * Add kubuntu_avoid_zic_and_deep_copy_timezone_data.diff It does not use zic when available as zic is broken. Also adds symlink handling, when a tz file is a symlink, it gets the link target and copies that instead. This prevents broken symlinks.

[Bug 1206199] Re: /etc/localtime incorrect link created by dateandtime kcm
We have zic installed by default, so the patch really doesn't help as zic is the one copying and not linking or rather, copying without checking if it is a link.

[Bug 1206199] Re: /etc/localtime incorrect link created by dateandtime kcm
What about disabling the zic check then and manually linking the file instead of copying (like in my patch) ? That should fix it as a workaround as long as zic behaves strangely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206199 Title: /etc/localtime incorrect link created by dateandtime kcm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1206199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, short of getting zic fixed for 13.10 that is the plan. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206199 Title: /etc/localtime incorrect link created by dateandtime kcm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1206199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
