How to display correct time for Russia? (Solved)

[sancxjo]

Hi!

Speech about the system Slacko 5.7

We currently do not have the daylight saving time-maybe that's why there is a wrong bias. Offset time we now have three hours to UTC.
Offset to UTC: +0300
How to fix?

Hello sancxjo

It looks like you need to update the zoneinfo package.

The one in a standard slacko-5.7 appears to be this: glibc-zoneinfo-2013d_2013d-noarch-8_slack14.0.txz
but the one i have here in a custom woof-built slacko-5.7 in this: glibc-zoneinfo-2014j-noarch-1.txz <---- MAKE A MENTAL NOTE OF THE EXTENSION
and that seems to be working OK with Psync showing Offset to UTC: +0300

• The following is done entirely at your own risk
  Please make a backup of your savefile first, just in case.

Before installing the attached package (remember to rename it),
execute the following two commands:

Code: Select all

mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-copied-from

Code: Select all

cp -p /etc/localtime-copied-from /etc/localtime

Now install the attached package (make sure you rename it first)

After installing the attached (renamed) package, execute the following command:

Code: Select all

mv /etc/localtime-copied-from /etc/localtime

The above commands are taken from this post by npierce

Hope this helps
