Hi
folks,
*
i*installed a
new server (squeeze)*with the new netinsall-iso. now i started setting time
and some issue turned up. here is a part of my console
output.
*
<quote>
root@xy:/#
tzselect
...
The following information has been
given:
*
*******
Germany
*
Therefore
TZ='Europe/Berlin' will be used.
Local time is
now:***** Mon Jun* 6 18:59:52 CEST
2011.
Universal Time is now:* Mon Jun* 6 16:59:52 UTC 2011.
Is
the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1
*
You can make
this change permanent for yourself by appending the
line
******* TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export
TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in
again.
*
Here is that
TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the
/usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Europe/Berlin
root@xy:/# hwclock
Mo 06 Jun 2011 16:59:56
CEST* -0.765840 seconds
root@xy:/#
date
Mo 6. Jun 18:59:59 CEST 2011
</quote>
*
after i've
done*some googling, i am a little confused.
*
UTC is
14:59:56
CEST is
16:59:56
*
why is my
debian-squeeze telling it's not?
honestly

So, you mean there is a shift of +2 hours from RTC clock and system time,
right?
Just a wild guess, but... at install time there is a question about your
RTC using "UTC" or "localtime". What did you select?
grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS
Besides, are you syncing the time using ntpd?

After installing Debian I had to correct /etc/default/rcS too, I'm from the same time zone.
I'm not sure if I randomly made a mistake when the installer asked me, or if it's a bug.

I always use
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
works like a charm.

That's right. I also have set the RTC to UTC.
sm01@stt008:~$ grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS
UTC=yes
sm01@stt008:~$ /sbin/hwclock
mar 07 jun 2011 12:53:25 CEST -0.130150 segundos
sm01@stt008:~$ date
mar jun 7 12:53:31 CEST 2011

Nothing wrong, ntpd is not enabled (neither installed) by default, but
I always set it up after the installation. Try and see if you get any
difference.

On recent installers the question is not asked anymore (or maybe just in
expert mode?), but the answer is guessed instead. Since I still have the
Vista recovery partition on my laptop I get UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS
