</div>I had started to write a forum post requesting people to provide the information in Harald's command. However, there appears to be a problem. /etc/localtime isn't a link on my machine, it's a normal file:<br>
<br>
steve@t520:~$ ls -l /etc/localtime<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2819 Apr 26 15:52 /etc/localtime<br>
<br>
Because it's a normal file, readlink returns nothing:<br>
<br>
steve@t520:~$ readlink /etc/localtime<br>
steve@t520:~$<br>
<br>
And cat `readlink localtime` just causes the shell to wait until I press Ctrl+C.<br>
<br>
The above is from my 13.04 laptop. I checked my Ubuntu 12.04 server, same situation. However, on my Arch build, /etc/localtime is, in fact, a symlink to a zoneinfo file.<br>
<br>
So before I post something to the forum, is there an alternate suggestion for what to do with /etc/localtime?</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>that is the expected behavior on a proper system</div><div style><br></div>
<div style>if someone feels like expanding the line to handle that be my guest, otherwise just tell peple to ctrl+c if nothing happens ;)</div><div style><br></div><div style>HS</div></div><br></div></div>
