thanks for report. I will add it to our work queue. This is automated batch bugzilla cleanup. The openSUSE 42.3 changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of openSUSE (At this moment openSUSE Leap 15.1, 15.0 and Tumbleweed) please feel free to reopen this bug against that version (!you must update the "Version" component in the bug fields, do not just reopen please), or alternatively create a new ticket. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed during the lifetime of the release. [1] https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime |
Created attachment 754504 [details] Photo of time selector Have a look at the Time Zone (TZ) and Clock Settings text explanation, and you'll see that it needs some love. Attached a version of the TZ selection form that is presented during the openSUSE_42.3 installation. 2nd alinea: sentence not finished: "... or UTC in Hardware Clock Set to"; this should be (I think): "... or UTC in Hardware Clock Set to UTC." (UTC added, as that is what is shown on screen) "Most PCs (shouldn't that be computers?) that also have other operating systems installed (such as...) use local time." (Where is local time specified, what does it, where is locatl time shown at the screen? For a experienced user this may all be clear, but think as a first time user / newcomer. Is this making things clear??) "If the hardware clock is set to UTC..." should that be "When the hardware clock is set to UTC..." "...your system can switch automaticall from standard time to DST and back automatically". ???? My computer does not have "Hardware Clock Set to UTC" enabled and it still switched automatically. Is this remark still relevant? Is the Note (3rd alinea) useful. In the alinea's above it is mentioned that the time should be set to either local time or UTC. The note stated it must be UTC... Just leave the text / note away, that prevents any confusion. Last line refers to "use Change to". I don't see change mentioned on the screen. Seems a wrong reference. As stated the explanation needs some love, look at the text from a newcomer point of view. And wonder whether the explanation makes actually sense.
