Public bug reported: MAAS sets the default timezone for provisioned nodes to:
$ cat /etc/timezone America/New_York This is probably because of: d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8 ...in /usr/share/maas/preseeds/preseed_master. It would be a far better idea to set this to UTC, adding: d-i time/zone string Etc/UTC ...to this preseed file. Version affected: 12.04 LTS / maas / precise-updates / 1.2+bzr1373+dfsg- 0ubuntu1~12.04.1. How reproducible is the problem? / Steps to Reproduce: * Install MAAS * Deploy some nodes with MAAS. [Impact] Allows MAAS to set the deployed systems to UTC timezone by default. [Test Case] 1. Install MAAS 2. Deploy a system. [Regression Potential] Minimal. This only changes the timezone of the node when deployed. ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Fix Released ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Low Status: New ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Low Status: New ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Low Status: New ** Also affects: maas (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: maas (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: maas (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Description changed: MAAS sets the default timezone for provisioned nodes to: $ cat /etc/timezone America/New_York This is probably because of: d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8 ...in /usr/share/maas/preseeds/preseed_master.
