Description Cesar Eduardo Barros 2011-03-26 20:13:08 UTC
Description of problem:

When installing on a EeePC 701 from a USB pen drive with Fedora-15-Alpha-i686-Live-Desktop.iso, it overwrote the RTC (which was on UTC) with the local time (which is GMT-3).

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

Fedora-15-Alpha-i686-Live-Desktop.iso with checksum 7e53e4...44d4e1.

How reproducible:

Happened on the two times I tried.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dd the ISO to a USB pen drive
2. Set the RTC time to the current UTC time
3. Boot from the USB pen drive, with no network cable connected
4. Install to the hard disk, selecting an ABNT2 keyboard and São Paulo as the timezone, with the "clock is UTC" checkbox enabled (it already was enabled by default)
5. Shut down and boot to the installed system, still with no network cable
6. On firstboot, select to enable NTP with the default settings shown
  
Actual results:

Notice the clock within Fedora is wrong by three hours. After rebooting into the BIOS, notice the clock is on local time, while it was on UTC before you started the install. Changing the clock to the correct UTC time makes the clock within Fedora correct again.

Expected results:

The Live CD installer should not overwrite the RTC time with the local timezone time.

This is caused by the switch to systemd and the livesys script not making adjustments for the new way things work.
