The timezone dialog works for me. What are the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/clock file? This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax. The contents are: ZONE="America/New_York" UTC=false ARC=false Of course, these are the contents *after* using dateconfig, seeing no timezone, and then selecting a timezone. That's too bad. I wanted to know the contents of the file before dateconfig was run. dateconfig should be able to read you current timezone and auto select it in the list, so I'm curious as to what was in the file before dateconfig overwrote it. I just did an RC2 install, and I haven't run dateconfig yet. I will try it out this evening, makeing a backup of /etc/sysconfig/clock before using dateconfig. Well, in RC2 /etc/sysconfig/clock says: ZONE="America/New_York" UTC=false ARC=false When I start dateconfig, I can't reproduce the problem. It looks like everything is good in RC2. Thanks, Joshua |
Description of Problem: when running dateconfig from the command line, it does two things in error: It gives the message "Shutting down ntpd: FAILED] This is confusing to users who *aren't* using ntpd It does not have the default timezone, already configured, shown in the time zone dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dateconfig-0.7.4-1 How Reproducible: run dateconfig, look at the time zone dialog; click on apply Joshua
