I had started to write a forum post requesting people to provide the information in Harald's command. However, there appears to be a problem. /etc/localtime isn't a link on my machine, it's a normal file: steve@t520:~$ ls -l /etc/localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2819 Apr 26 15:52 /etc/localtime Because it's a normal file, readlink returns nothing: steve@t520:~$ readlink /etc/localtime steve@t520:~$ And cat `readlink localtime` just causes the shell to wait until I press Ctrl+C. The above is from my 13.04 laptop. I checked my Ubuntu 12.04 server, same situation. However, on my Arch build, /etc/localtime is, in fact, a symlink to a zoneinfo file. So before I post something to the forum, is there an alternate suggestion for what to do with /etc/localtime? ...Steve -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
