There may be a clue as to what is going on here: # cat /etc/timezone; echo; date America/Chicago Sat Feb 5 01:09:43 UTC 2005 # hwclock --show Sat 05 Feb 2005 06:10:41 PM UTC -0.804128 seconds My watch says 7:11pm Feb 4, 2005. [root@pegasus etc]# hwclock --show --localtime Sat 05 Feb 2005 06:12:21 PM UTC -0.167392 seconds [root@pegasus etc]# hwclock --show --utc Sat 05 Feb 2005 06:12:28 PM UTC -0.381786 seconds # ls -l /etc/localtime ls: /etc/localtime: No such file or directory # ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime # date Fri Feb 4 19:15:10 CST 2005 # rpm -qf /etc/localtime glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3 So why did /etc/localtime disappear? And why didn't the system fix that? After making the /etc/localtime link, I logged out and back in. The timezone is now correct. But why didn't the KDE clock utility fix the problem? Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! I haven't had this problem in a long time; and I have upgraded to FC6. Closing. |
