to recreate, you can either: a.) launch instance with cloud-config specifying: timezone: US/Eastern b.) inside an instance run: sudo cloud-init single --frequency=always --name=cc_timezone US/Eastern
Either way, you'll end up with something like: $ cat /etc/timezone # Created by cloud-init v. 0.7.6 on Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:49:26 +0000 US/Eastern ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341710 Title: Comment placed inside of /etc/timezone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1341710/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
