Timezone not set properly on a new install

Suite du sujet PB with timezone in the dashboard and disk usage:

With a fresh new install, in the CLI

#Config getprop php DateTimezone
UTC
#config show TimeZone
TimeZone=America/Belem

This after the first configuration wizard… :smirk:
It’s a bug, isn’t it?

I will check it.

I was browsing issues on the Nethserver dev site.
There 's nothing about this issue…

I’m the only one this issue happen?

Just checked, but I can’t reproduce the problem.
Tested with Rome and Belem timezone: the configuration is always consistent.

Perhaps the pb is in other place …
I had made my installation with a minimal CentOs (I choose the correct TZ here)
and after, I’'d made the Nethserver Installation…

I’m not proceding with the standart Cd-rom installation cause of no cd-rom

create a VM, start from minimal centos and test NS setup, checking if everything is working as expected…

then setup NS in a VM starting from iso and check again…

virtualization is there mainly for testing… and setup a VM is a matter of 5 minutes…

Sorry to insist, but perhaps there’s only a problem of interpretation:

When I said this:

@giacomo answered :

At this point, I understood that UTC is not the correct Timezone.

Also:

Is not correct… Or I missed something?

It is correct: it refers to hardware clock.

See:

Now that I’ve got a new fresh VM working :smiley:
The first test is this timezone… That’s not set properly by the configuration wizard:

Heu…
I found the “issue”.
Installing by the Minimal CentOS way, when choosing the TZ, by default there a selected option “use UTC”.
When making the installation without this option, all is okay :wink:
