[gentoo-amd64] Clock set to FACTORY warning.

[Mark Haney]

I've got a warning (or error) when I boot up or shot down saying that 
/etc/conf.d/clock is still set to 'Factory'.  However, when I look at 
that file it actually set to 'local'.  Is anyone else seeing this?

Did you uncomment the "#TIMEZONE="Factory"" and change it to your
local timzone?

Well, I don't have that option in my /etc/conf.d/clock file.  I know I 
updated a few things and went through dispatch-conf, which is when I 
noticed, but on any files I haven't edited, I generally select the 'use 
new' option.  So either this file didn't get updated properly or something.

It's part of - 

sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9 (/etc/conf.d/clock) 

Perhaps check the emerge? Or simply add the TIMEZONE="" statement?

CLOCK="local"

# Select the proper timezone.  For valid values, peek inside of the
# /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory.  For example, some common values are
# "America/New_York" or "EST5EDT" or "Europe/Berlin".

TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin"

# If you wish to pass any other arguments to hwclock during bootup,
# you may do so here.


this is how it should look like, there are two variables

I did edit that to CLOCK="UTC" and it works in my case, but as you say the comments ontop of this line clearly state :

# Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your system clock is set to UTC (also known as
# Greenwich Mean Time).  If your clock is set to the local time, then 
# set CLOCK to "local".  Note that if you dual boot with Windows, then 
# you should set it to "local".

That warning has nothing to do with the CLOCK= line.  It's related to
the TIMEZONE= line, which is new in recent baselayout.  It replaces
symlinking /etc/localtime as the way to set the timezone.  If you didn't
merge in changes to /etc/conf.d/clock when you updated baselayout, you
won't have the correct section.  Paste it from here, or re-emerge
baselayout and re-run etc-update:

# Select the proper timezone.  For valid values, peek inside of the
# /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory.  For example, some common values are
# "America/New_York" or "EST5EDT" or "Europe/Berlin".

TIMEZONE="America/Detroit"

No, it comes from some silly logic that says "if I don't have a recognisable 
timezone set, I'll complain that it's set to Factory, even though it 
isn't."

When I started getting this erroneous error message I had to insert this 
manually in /etc/conf.d/clock:

# Put in speculatively by PRH after silly error message during boot:
TIMEZONE="Europe/London"

Yes, I did run etc-update, as I do after every emerge that warns of the need 
to. I thought of raising a bug report, but didn't in the end. Sometimes I 
wonder at the thought processes whose results I see.

Either you updated baselayout without doing and etc-update or
dispatch-conf thereafter, either you're looking for the wrong
parameter, it should be

TIMEZONE="Where/Iam"

in /etc/conf.d/clock
