My Asus is still running on GMT.

I've installed the tz package - is there anyway to get the system and commands to actually use these files?

I do have a /etc/TZ file, and it's setting is GMT0BST

I'm running 1.9.2.7-7f

Quite smart to wait for someone to make a search for you...

If you find that it does not help you either you should put your findings there.

Quite smart to wait for someone to make a search for you...I did a search - the link you refer to doesn't solve the problem.

Using a TZ settting of "GMT0BST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3" would work, but there is nothing to say how I get this set. I have tried "nvram set timezone=.." and setting the value in /etc/TZ, but on reboot these both get reset to GMT0BST.

And it doesn't indicate how I can use the timezone files from the tz package to set it to GB-Eire or Europe/London.

So, how do I set things do that the correct timezone applies on a reboot?

do you save nvram after the change??Thanks - I have now. Discovered "nvram commit" in another thread this afternoon. (I'd also got post-boot to install a "correct" /etc/TZ by then, but I think that left the kernel running on GMT).
