RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

In the Installation, I set a timezone value to Asia/Tokyo(JST : +9:00).
But the timezone value changed to Shanghai/China(CST : +8:00).

After the Installation, the system required authentication due to change the timezone at first login. 
Before the authentication, timezone was correct. (see "2021-07-24_17h34_34.png". Time was 17:34.)
After the authentication, timezone was incorrect. (see "2021-07-24_17h34_46.png". Time was 16:34. (-1 hour))
After all, timezone was CST.(see "2021-07-24_17h35_53.png")


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

RHEL 8.4
CentOS Stream 8 (CentOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20210721-dvd1.iso)


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Boot CentOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20210721-dvd1.iso.
2. Set "Language" value to "English".
3. Set "Timezone" value to "Asia/Tokyo(JST)" in "Time & Date".(see "2021-07-24_17h17_17.png")

5. Create user "testuser" in "User Creation".
6. Select automatic partitioning in "Installation Destination".
7. Set network and hostname in "Network & Host Name"
8. Begin "Installation".
9. Reboot.
10. Accept license.
11. Login (testuser).
12. System require authentication. input password. (Timezone changed!!)
(see "2021-07-24_17h34_34.png" and "2021-07-24_17h34_46.png")
13. Perform the rest of the Installation.

Comment 1 Sergey 2021-07-26 07:50:41 UTC 
This bug reproduces when you install system with gnome. When you first time login to gnome timezone resets to you local TZ.
If install minimal system (without UI), TZ doesn't reset.
Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2021-08-16 16:30:40 UTC 
Anaconda seems to set the Timezone correctly, however, Gnome Initial Setup will change it later in the installed system. Switching to Gnome Initial Setup for further triaging.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2022-06-21 18:47:20 UTC 
The g-i-s timezone page is not expected to run after an installer's timezone selection page. This is resolved in RHEL 9, where we hide the timezone selection page in gnome-initial-setup in favor of anaconda's timezone selector.
