Description of problem:
a value of the list view on the Time zone tab ignores the current setting. looks
like it's always pointed America/New_York.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.runs redhat-config-date
2.select the Time zone tab.
3.look at the list view.
	

Actual Results:  I've selected 'Asia/Tokyo' for Time zone at the install time,
but redhat-config-date always point 'America/New_York.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2002-08-21 20:26:37 UTC

Should be fixed in 1.5.2-3.

QA, please verify.

Comment 2 Mike McLean 2002-09-12 06:45:14 UTC

Hmm, there seems to be qa contact for this bug, adding myself.

This bug is fixed in the literal sense: redhat-config-date does indeed read the
currect timezone/utc settings from /etc/sysconfig/clock.  However, any changes
mad e are not written back to this file.  I am testing with 
redhat-config-date-1.5.2-10.

See also bug#73498.

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2002-10-10 19:21:05 UTC

The fix is in CVS now, but I can't push new packages to Rawhide now due to some
problem with the build system.  Should be fixed in 1.5.2-11.  

QA, please verify.  The RPM can be found in dist-8.0.1.

Comment 4 Mike McLean 2002-10-10 19:53:56 UTC

um...........  

[mike@test114 mike]$ /usr/bin/redhat-config-date
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/redhat-config-date.py", line 35, in ?
    mainWindow.mainWindow().stand_alone()
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/mainWindow.py", line 180, in __init__

  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_gui.py", line 53, in __init__
    if int(self.asUTC) == 1:

[mike@test114 mike]$ rpm -q redhat-config-date
redhat-config-date-1.5.2-11
[root@test114 root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=true
ARC=false

it seems to be thrown off by boolean keywords like true/false on/off.  It seems
to want to only see 0/1 and it seems to always write 0/1.  Note that rc.sysinit
*doesn't understand* 0 or 1 for UTC or ARC, though to be fair this is probably a
bug in initscripts (since it does initialize them to be 0).

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-10 20:05:32 UTC

UTC/ARC is a true/false field, not a 0/1 field. At least, that's how it's
documented and implemented. ;)

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2002-10-22 18:56:38 UTC

Should be fixed properly now (hopefully).  Please test with
redhat-config-date-1.5.3-1 in dist-8.0.1

Comment 7 Mike McLean 2002-10-23 12:21:52 UTC

Confirmed fix.
