Description Andrew Bartlett 2007-10-24 01:35:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Bug 245203 fixed the libvirt side of this problem, but virt-manager needs to set
this attribute during the install of windows guests.  (And allow it to be
modified later). 

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

virt-manager-0.5.2-2.fc8
libvirt-0.3.3-2.fc8

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install windows guest with virt-manager
2. Look at clock
3. 
  
Actual results:
Time in UTC

Expected results:
Local time

Additional info:
Isn't this exactly the kind of thing the guest OS selection is meant to be for?

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-10-24 03:21:55 UTC
Yes, if you select the 'Windows' guest OS type during the installation wizard it
is supposed to automatically configure the clock to 'localtime'. Can you confirm
what  OS type you selected, and provide the /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log
file which will tell us what clock source was configured for the guest.

This log shows that I selected windows XP (which I did).

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2007-10-24 03:46:04 UTC
Looks like virt-inst library isn't configuring the clock source correctly. It is
adding the USB tablet for sane Windows mouse, but not setting clock at all.

A fix was applied for this:
http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=325a56861208

Specifying you are installing a windows guest should set 'localtime'
automatically. I'll close this bug when a new release is pushed out. Thanks!
