=============================================

Hello,

I have a Sat. Nokia Dbox2 2xI with JtG (cramfs) image and I want to change the timezone to TimeZone=Dublin

When I vi the file /etc/profile and save it with :w! I get a "readonly" error.

Does anyone know how the change this file in a cramfs image or how to create a /var/etc/profile to do the same thing.

Please help,

Thanks

O.K., erfolgt ihm, aber Zeit ist noch falsch

stellen Sie es auf ein Timezone=Dublin, jetzt 17:00
wenn seien Sie 18:00

Danke

Arghh, horrible Babelfish. Don't use it. It definitely has no "Don't panic"-button on it. We're not there yet...

Cramfs is by definition a read-only system, so you can only change a file in it by creating a complete new cramfs which is not trivial.

But this should be unnecessary since most images offer a way to override this by looking at a file in "/var/etc" first. This is of course subject to the goodwill of the image creators so it depends on the image you use. Just check what's available in /var/etc.

I'm not sure all GUIs use the timezone information, I think Enigma does but not sure about Neutrino.

Besides there used to be problems in the past because some broadcasters who do not understand UTC put the local time into their tables which of course means total chaos if you happen to switch channels.

Hello Npq,

Yes babel fish is terrible, causes me many hours of frustration.

Well I managed to changed the profile in cramfs and flash it back to the box.

The only problem I am left with is understanding the timzone parameters.

The profile contains the timezone settings, which is one hour in front.
EXPORT TZ=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3

When I change it to
EXPORT TZ=Dublin,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3
I am then one hour behind

Any ideas what the last 2 parameters mean?


Thanks

start and end for the daylight savings period

M3.5.0/2
3rd month 5th occurance of day 0 (=Sunday) at time 2
= last Sunday in March at 2:00 am

Hi

Small feature request from people from EET.

Currently the Neutrino's timezone is set in /etc/profile and it is locating /dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)

To change it to correct one request hell lot of work...


One solution is add five "last" lines in /etc/profile (e.g.)

### EOF Addition
if [ -e /var/etc/profile ]; then
/var/etc/profile
fi

Thanks
