[Bug 63247] Re: Ubuntu doesn't correct for daylight savings (DST)
Hi there, thanks for the help. ~$ cat /etc/default/rcS # # /etc/default/rcS # # Default settings for the scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ # # For information about these variables see the rcS(5) manual page. # # This file belongs to the initscripts package. TMPTIME=0 SULOGIN=no DELAYLOGIN=no UTC=no VERBOSE=no FSCKFIX=no --- I am dual booting with windows, although I haven't used windows since the change so it hasn't updated my clock. Ok, I didn't realise that. Not sure if that is a good behaviour though, because there must be plenty of people (like me) who have windows installed but use Ubuntu as their primary OS? Maybe a better solution would be to popup a dialog on login saying that a DST has been detected, and present the user with two time options to choose from. Wouldn't be hard with a bit of python, although I wouldn't know how to get it to run only on certain dates. Or would it make more sense to integrate it with the gnome-clock applet? -- Ubuntu doesn't correct for daylight savings (DST) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63247 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 63247] Re: Ubuntu doesn't correct for daylight savings (DST)
can you post the output of cat /etc/default/rcS are you dual booting with windows? in linux the clock can either be set to UTC or local time. if it is UTC the the local time is calculated based on your timezone settings, and is automatically adjusted for daylight saving. windows expects the time to be stored as local time, and adjusts the clock twice a year. if your clock is set to local time, then ubuntu does not adjust it, other wise the hour would be removed twice, once by linux and once by windows. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- Ubuntu doesn't correct for daylight savings (DST) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63247 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
