Okay.. after taking a few seconds to really check what was going on the solution is as simple as:
% hwclock -s --localtime
I've added a localtime module to grml-quickconfig and attached the patch. Hopefully it will find it's way to the package. ;) (I did /not/ change the changelog.)
Tested the new grml-release recently and it seems that the variable UTC has been changed to "no" which means the problem moved to systems where the hwclock is set to UTC. The solution there would then be:
% hwclock -s --utc
Therefor my patch for grml-quickconfig got absolete. Maybe it should take the UTC-variable into account and/or give the opportunity to switch the time-setting from utc to localtime and vice versa...
Thanks for bringing this up, Darsha. We've documented this issue under http://grml.org/faq/#timezone - is there anything missing what should be added/improved/changed?
Btw: @mika: why was the "Happy Hacking"-output was dropped? I liked it. ;)
Hehe. :)
We try to make the system even more flexible and customizable and therefore we're removing static output whereever reasonable. Maybe a "custom slogan feature" will appear in an upcoming Grml release providing this output again. :)
