Description of problem: I use local time (not UTC) as my system clock. I prefer it this way. The system seems to assume that UTC clock is always on. I've set the system like always. /etc/localtime is a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Warsaw. My /etc/sysconfig/clock file is: ZONE="Europe/Warsaw" UTC=false ARC=false Still each time I boot/reboot system time gets two hours ahead and also incorrect (two hours ahead) time is stored in hwclock. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 9, set the clock as local (not UTC). 2. After instalation reboot the system. Actual results: Each time the system clock goes 2 hours ahead and each time the wrong time is stored to hardware clock. Expected results: Get the proper time. Additional info: I've noticed that /etc/rc.sysinit is different that in previous (Fedora 8) release and does not contain the code regarding clock. I think it has some something to do with upstart introduction. The system is Eee PC 900. I haven't checked that issue on other systems.
What kernel are you using? Have you rebuilt it with a custom configuration?
I am using stock Fedora kernel. The version that came with installation since I haven't managed to make madwifi work with newer versions. Newertheles it is clearly timezone/init issue. Additionally yesterday everything was fine but the system (BIOS) clock. It looks like I own borked Eee PC or it is a feature of this hardware. I'll be watching the issue and I'll update if I find something new.
The reason I asked about the kernel is to check if you're running into bug 447019 - if you've not rebuilt your kernel, or aren't using a Fedora 8 kernel, that's unlikely to be what you're seeing. (You could try the patch anyways, of course.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
