[SOLVED] Problem setting timezone in arch chroot

Hi,

I have set up an arch chroot which works just fine, except I cannot seem to get the time out of UTC, I would like it to take on localtime from the host OS (also arch), so that it picks up my timezone (Pacific/Auckland)

I have tried using timedatectl command from within the chroot, but it states:

<code>
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to create bus connection: Host is down
</code>

Any idea's

It's just a symlink, see bottom of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … #Time_zone
