Set timezone in the settings
follower46 opened this issue · 9 comments
It would be nice to have the option to set the system timezone in the settings menu.
I copied the /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago file to /etc/localtime on my GS and it updated accordingly.
We could have a vertical list of string options by listing the options in zoneinfo and drilling down to the timezone of each location.
I'd like to work on this one 😄
cool,go ahead :)
Yes, it will be a good thing to be able to set up the time parameters from the UI
I would like to work on it too :)
Hmmmm, I have the list pulling up all the options but when I try to set one I get a permission error.
I ended up using an elevated subprocess call to get around the permissions error but I'm not sure if that's the best way.

Any tips, @cuu?
I also changed the location scanning directory to /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix instead of just /usr/share/zoneinfo as there was a bunch of weird extra junk in that directory
Please let me know what I can change:
#60
If I am right, user cpi on GS has sudo power without password
and I reset the code because your pull is not working right now
I'll wait you to finish
:)
Interesting, it wasn't working?
Hmmmm, let me double check. I re-imaged my GS last night and put this on it and it appeared to work.
I'll merge master in and see if I missed something.
Ack! I just pulled in d8807f9 and it failed!
it was that stupid binary file. I don't know how but the list item was committed in a corrupted state :-(
I'm re-pushing with the none corrupt file.
Sorry about that, that was really weird.
Created #68 with the corrected file.
I have no idea how that happened :-(
