With the switch to configure UTC from /etc/adjtime instead of /etc/default/rcS, I'm having the following regression:
I've installed Xenial some months ago and it's fully updated. Without customizing it, my /etc/adjtime reads: 0.0 0 0 0 The regression is this: # timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 Failed to set local RTC: Failed to set RTC to local/UTC: Input/output error I can work around the issue with two ways: 1) Completely delete /etc/adjtime. Then `timedatectl set-local-rtc 1` generates it, and `timedatectl set-local-rtc 0` deletes it with no errors. 2) Add "LOCAL" or "UTC" to the end of /etc/adjtime. Then again `timedatectl set-local-rtc XXX` works as expected. Am I supposed not to have that file? Should I file a bug report against systemd so that it doesn't have parse errors if the LOCAL/UTC keyword is missing? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1541532 Title: migrate UTC setting from /etc/default/rcS to adjtime Status in installation-guide package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lupin package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mbr package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mbr package in Debian: New Bug description: This has been an Ubuntu delta in systemd and perhaps other Ubuntu packages for a long time. But /etc/default/rcS is a SysV-ism, and no other setting in there is relevant. Steps: * Bump the version guard in systemd.conf for migrating the actual setting (keep until 16.04 LTS) * Ensure that we only look at the LOCAL setting during boot, and do no actual drift correction at boot, as the kernel does that by itself. * grep the archive for software which might directly look at or even write that file (Ubuntu specific config tools and the like).
