[Bug 105519] Re: livecd clock is (inevitably) wrong

[Stéphane Graber]

casper isn't touching the clock at boot time.
ntpdate is triggered by ifupdown which sets the clock to the right time. The timezone is going to be UTC until a location is selected in ubiquity at which point the clock will change to reflect the timezone change.

I think the current behaviour is correct, though it indeed could be
slightly improved by having NetworkManager parse the dhcp flag and
expose that to the desktop environment somehow.

  livecd clock is (inevitably) wrong

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  I booted the i386 livecd 20070411.  The machine has a hardware clock
  set to UTC, a single hard disk containing only Linux installs, and
  although there is a network the firewall prevents it talking to any
  global ntp servers.

  The clock in the top right corner of the desktop shows UTC, which is
  not the correct timezone for me at the moment.  For many users the
  clock will be even more wrong.
