(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

The following message appears really often when running programs in a glass of Puppy Wine:

fixme:ntdll:TIME_GetTZAsStr Can't match system time zone name "PUP", bias=-480 and dst=0 to an entry in TZ_INFO. Please add appropriate entry to TZ_INFO and submit as patch to wine-patches

The .dll named handles time zones, but it seems that Puppy passes a string that gets it really confused. Does anyone know how to set the time zone for Puppy with Wine? The control panel time zone setting has no effect.

you can edit the file TZ in /etc
the time zone letters are ignored by most program
you could try changing PUP to GMT or UTC or EST or PST and reboot

Thanks for that. PST, EST, GMT, UTC and CST are all in the WINE table. The messages no longer appear after changing /etc/TZ
