[Bug 1632766] Re: time in lxc ubuntu template
After a talk with stgraber, this is a due to the fact that the Ubuntu LXC I build are using a pre-generated image which uses UTC by default. If you want to change the time on Xenial, in my case date command or other technic didn't have positive impact. The only thing that work so far is to unlink /etc/localtime and link it to the desired zone. example : #ls -altr /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 12 15:59 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC # unlink /etc/localtime # ls -altr /etc/localtime ls: cannot access '/etc/localtime': No such file or directory # ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto /etc/localtime # ls -altr /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Oct 12 12:05 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632766 Title: time in lxc ubuntu template To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1632766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So it's expected that the download template images will not replicate any host settings (locales, timezone, ...) as those are completely self- contained images. As discussed on IRC, it looks like Xenial needs you to also change the /etc/localtime symlink, which is why your manual change worked for trusty but not xenial. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632766 Title: time in lxc ubuntu template To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1632766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

LXC Container has been created as follow : $ lxc-create -t download -n trusty -- --dist ubuntu --release trusty --arch amd64 $ lxc-create -t download -n xenial -- --dist ubuntu --release xenial --arch amd64 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632766 Title: time in lxc ubuntu template To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1632766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
