tzdata gone mad? | |
Thursday May 17 8:55:09 2012 | |
Somehow my local clock went mad after playing with a live gnome 3.4 | |
usb image I downloaded from their official site (Fedora based). No | |
matter what I did I couldn't set it correctly again. | |
Back to my regular debian installation (wheezy) I still wasn't able | |
to set the clock to the right time. I have had to | |
reconfigure tzdata to Australia/Perth to get my local time. I'm in | |
Spain :( | |
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | |
Current default time zone: 'Australia/Perth' | |
Local time is now: Fri May 18 10:44:59 WST 2012. | |
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:44:59 UTC 2012. | |
Before I got (once and again for several days): | |
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | |
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Madrid' | |
Local time is now: Fri May 18 04:34:39 CEST 2012. | |
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:34:39 UTC 2012. | |
or | |
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | |
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Andorra' | |
Local time is now: Fri May 18 04:35:14 CEST 2012. | |
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:35:14 UTC 2012. | |
a bug in ntp? or am I missing something about timezones? | |
(Reminder: I'm completely against the fact that only root can set t | |
time on a system) | |
UPDATE (05-18-12): | |
The "suspected" bug on ntp seemed to exist (even though I didn't | |
check the bts) because I upgraded ntp and now it works fine. Thanks | |
guys for fixing it. |
