Description peter czanik 2008-03-11 09:59:14 UTC
During installation on EFIKA PPC the time setting dialog does not show a choice for choosing if the clock is "UTC" or "local time". Looking at the YaST2 logs shows "utc_only" on line 3073 of y2log-1. Any reason not enabling this on EFIKA?

AFAIK the reason to let the user decide between "HW clock running on UTC" or "HW clock running on local time" was to not confuse a parallel-bootable MS Windows.

Since this is not an issue on PPC, it might make sense to not offer this selection.
Comment 3 peter czanik 2008-03-13 16:30:08 UTC
Well, the user is asked on another PPC machine, the Pegasos, that's why I considered it a bug on the EFIKA. And there are alternative OS-es for Pegasos and EFIKA, which assume, that the clock is set to local time. So, please enable it also on EFIKA.
Comment 4 Jiří Suchomel 2008-03-19 11:42:56 UTC
Arch::board_chrp () should return false and EFIKA should be detected by Arch::board_pegasos ()
Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2008-03-19 13:31:36 UTC
Efika detection is broken. In order to fix it properly, could you, please, provide the contents of

/proc/device-tree/device_type

and 

/proc/device-tree/model

? I don't have any efika to have a look myself...
Comment 6 peter czanik 2008-03-19 13:40:15 UTC
homeserver:/proc/device-tree # cat device_type
efikahomeserver:/proc/device-tree # cat model
EFIKA5K2homeserver:/proc/device-tree #

so, it is 'efika' and 'EFIKA5K2'

Inside SuSE Olaf Hering has an EFIKA.

Thanks, I fixed the detection according to your data in SVN. With Beta1 efika should be detected properly and not handled like mainframes.
Comment 8 peter czanik 2008-03-25 09:00:34 UTC
Tested current factory (from 2008-03-25), but the dialog is still not enabled.
Comment 9 Jiri Srain 2008-03-25 09:19:53 UTC
Which version of yast2? You need at least 2.16.39.

If you have >= 2.16.39, please, reopen and attach the logs.
