From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 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. Expected Results: the current setting's value should be selected by default. Additional info:
Should be fixed in 1.5.2-3. QA, please verify.
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.
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.
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__ self.timezonePage = timezone_gui.timezonePage() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_gui.py", line 53, in __init__ if int(self.asUTC) == 1: ValueError: invalid literal for int(): true [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).
UTC/ARC is a true/false field, not a 0/1 field. At least, that's how it's documented and implemented. ;)
Should be fixed properly now (hopefully). Please test with redhat-config-date-1.5.3-1 in dist-8.0.1
Confirmed fix. CLOSING->RAWHIDE
