When booting grml on a system where Windows is installed and the hardware-clock is set to local time I often get annoyed when finding out that the timestamps are all wrong because grml assumes the system is set to UTC.
There might be a boot option to fix this ("grml gmt tz=..." ?) but I would prefer such an option somewhere in the start menu.
What do you mean with start menu? Bootloader with several additional boot-options for grml or grml-quickconfig (menu after you booted grml allowing easy start/change several things like keyboard layout)? For the later it should be easily doable to write a new entry. Have a look at man grml-quickconfig and the menu entries in /usr/share/grml- quickconfig/
Yes. I meant grml-quickconfig and I will take a look at it. Thx.
But my actual question is: how is this problem (change to local-time / set timezone) solved by others (as this should be a common problem)? Everything done by hand or is there already a script to solve that?
To see what the timezone setting is: 'tzselect' To change the timezone: ’dpkg-reconfigure tzdata’ Look at 'man tzselect'
Thx. I know that. My problem is not about the timezone but much more about the hwclock set to UTC vs. local time. According to the start-scripts a variable UTC in "/etc/default/rcS" is used to honor this behavior.
And I have no easy way of fixing this (after booting up) without fidling around with hwclock and "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"...
I'm still puzzled about the fact that there are hardly any reports on this issue. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have to boot up grml to bring up more details though. But I still hope someone can enlighten me.
