[ASU] Timezone problems
Hi, got my Freerunner a few days ago and I love it. I've ironed out most of the problems that bugged me but Iäm still having some problems with setting the timezone. I did as the wiki says. Tzdata was already installed so I replaced /etc/localtime with a soft link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Tallinn. After that I set the right time with the date command. Now however, when selecting set clock from the clock app in Settings, it shows the timezone as London and all the fields are grayed out (except autosetting clock option). The openmoko-dates app as well selects london as the default time zone and if I add events using Europe/Tallinn then they're couple hours amiss. When I use the date command it shows output as Tue Sep 16 11:23:21 EEST 2008 - EEST should afaik be the right setting. Any help? If I should provide any extra information let me know.

Re: [ASU] Timezone problems
try setting autosetting to: off then edit the other (timezone) fields, and then back to ask or on Heh, thanks. I could have sworn that I tried that a couple of days ago but the fields still remained grayed out so I thought the automatic setting was for automatically setting summer/winter time. This time it worked right away. I don't know if I imagined it or did a software upgrade fix something. I checked the /etc/timezone file as well and it did indeed change, so manually changing that file would have probably worked as well.

Timezone problems
I'm having trouble setting the timezone on my phone running ASU. I set the time/date via the command line (date -s) and that works fine. Next, I link /etc/localtime: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime But date still show UTC time: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# date Sat Jul 26 18:29:37 UTC 2008 As does the phone toolbar and the clock application. Trying Set Time from Clock even shows New York as the current timezone. Is this a known issue? ...cj ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Timezone problems
did you reboot? else try date -s ... and after that hwclock --systohc. my fr w/ 2007.2 has the right timezone (Berlin, CEST) but insists on using utc apparently because the time of the fr is 2 hours back, no matter if i sync with ntpdate or not. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Timezone problems
Doh! That took care of it...I thought /etc/localtime was an immediate thing, thanks. well, it is _set_, so you need tro set it after changes. /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start might have done the trick ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Trying Set Time from Clock even shows New York as the current timezone. Not known, IIRC it is part of the tests QA is doing and I just tested it as well. The systemtime application of Qtopia (and the server providing the implementation) will do the following. It will copy the Timezone file to /etc/localtime It will write /etc/timezone It will ask atd (if it is running) to write the time I tested it with setting the Timezone to New York and then to Tokyo. What you can test is that your link is valid, and if glibc does like the link, e.g. start copying things over as well. But then again you can ask Qtopia using qcop to write the timezone and new time for you [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# md5sum /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York e4ca381035a34b7a852184cc0dd89baa /etc/localtime e4ca381035a34b7a852184cc0dd89baa /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/timezone America/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# date Sat Jul 26 10:31:30 EDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /opt/Qtopia/bin/systemtime [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# md5sum /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo f17769e8eb35e7a08cfedfe9b2f6b5ef /etc/localtime f17769e8eb35e7a08cfedfe9b2f6b5ef /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/timezone Asia/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# date Sat Jul 26 23:32:16 JST 2008 z. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Timezone problems
When I try: hwclock --systohc I get: hwclock: can't open '/dev/misc/rtc': No such file or directory On the ASU/openmoko-qtopia images. I have set my repository to point to the openmoko.downloads for ASU On the 2007.2/default Freerunner image, the hwclock command works fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
