[Bug 53132] Re: [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc
Users will surely know what UTC is, but they'll have to be pretty smart to guess without further information all the implications using UTC on the hardware clock has. As I said, the installer should just disable UTC in hardware clock if Windows is already installed. If we provide an option for every special case, our installer will soon become unusable. ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) = ubiquity (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Baltix) Status: New = Invalid ** Summary changed: - [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc + Don't store UTC time in hardware clock if Windows is detected at install time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53132 Title: Don't store UTC time in hardware clock if Windows is detected at install time -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 53132] Re: [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc
IMO it's rather lame on part of developers to assume that the user is too stupid to understand a phrase set hardware clock to UTC. Time zones are taught in 4th grade or so. Any adult brave enough to use linux is surely intelligent enough to understand that option. Silently setting UTC=yes by default results in inconveniences especially for beginners, because most of them will have a different main OS! Simply put, it's much easier to have this option displayed at install time than to spend 2 hours tracking it down, trying to unmolest the hardware clock. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53132 Title: [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 53132] Re: [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc
Since I can't add to my previous comment (forum bug # 80895), here's how I fix clocks on Debian derivatives: in Terminal sudo gedit /etc/default/rcS set UTC=no quit gedit sudo rm /etc/adjtime to delete bad adjtime file hwclock --systohc --localtime to create an improved adjtime file And now they will stay roughly synchronized among reboots.

[Bug 53132] Re: [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc
I've set the upstream report as WONTFIX because I think that setting should be automatically set on install, depending on what OSes are present. Adding this kind of obscure option will confuse users. What's Ubuntu's opinion about that? -- [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your bug. It might be useful. Any opinion on where to place the option? To the timezone selection dialog maybe? ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed ** Also affects: gst (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [time-admin] We need a GUI to enable/disable utc https://launchpad.net/bugs/53132 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
