[Solved] Configuring Time Zone [Fail]

cypherinside · 2011-07-08 06:42:05

Hello! After a new installation, when I boot arch I get "Configuring Time Zone [Fail]".
Why?
In my rc.conf
LOCALE="it_IT.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Rome"
and the daemons are DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @crond dbus @cups @sshd)

Did you uncomment "it_IT.UTF-8" in /etc/locale.gen and ran locale-gen?

yes, I did

What's the output of

ls -l /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome

and

diff  /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome

cypherinside · 2011-07-08 21:05:32

~$ ls -l /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2652  8 lug 22.56 /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root 2652 29 apr 08.57 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome

no differences between localtime and Rome

Hi cypherinside,
did you find a solution for the problem?

cypherinside · 2011-07-27 16:59:14

no

Did you try adding hwclock to the daemons line?

Having the exact same problem with Europe/Zagreb.

Hello,

The command from rc.sysinit ran while "Configuring Time Zone" is below. If you run it as root the output may help you determine what is going wrong.

cp --remove-destination "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome" /etc/localtime

No output.

What about this ? (still as root)

cp --remove-destination "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome" /etc/localtime; echo $?

If output is "0" then the error is specific to the context of /etc/rc.sysinit and you may have to do some script debugging to pinpoint the error.

PS: just tested booting with Europe/Rome for TIMEZONE and everything went fine.

I solved the problem timezone is not the problem, the problem is / etc / rc.sysinit file "status" Activating swap "swapon-a" line stems, swap is not active section

please activate swap partition
mkswap /dev/swappart

Maybe. However I reinstalled Arch (not for this problem but to install gnome3) and the problem is solved.
Thank you.

Arch Linux
