Re: ubuntu breezy and local time

I put export TZ=US/Eastern in .bashrc. That apparantly solved the problem,
if I type date I get the right date and time. But the interesting thing is 
that wmclock still gives me the wrong time and date.

As to how this happened, I upgraded from Hoary to Breezy using dist-upgrade. 
It probably deleted some link it shouldn't have.

Thanks,
Ayan

It should work out of the<br>box. Time zone is a system function and not the 
resposibility of either<br>a window manager or DE. The timezone is set by 
either symlinking or<br>copying the appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo

correctly unless<br>it is a very old program. For older programs to work, 
create a directory<br>called /usr/lib/zoneinfo and issue this 
command:<br><br>      ln -s /etc/localtime
