Package: debian-installer Version: 20150718 Severity: normal Tags: d-i I just tried to setup a dev VM using this netinst ISO:
debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso 2015-07-21 12:30 245M I *assume* it's version 20150718 as that predates the daily build by 3 days and has been migrated to testing according to tracker.d.o. The problem: I am in a multinational, multi-language environment spread across the globe, where by convention servers are configured to en_US, timezone UTC. We use US keyboards no matter where on the planet we are. In earlier versions of d-i, there was a menu to select the time zone, and hitting "End" would get me to Etc/Utc which was at the bottom of the list. Now, in d-i, I select Language: English Country: United States Keymap: American English Then I enter the root password, user, username, password, and then have to configure the clock. The only options I have are Eastern, Central, Mountain, ... Samoa. Does that seriously mean people who configure a locale other than C in their system cannot set the clock to use UTC in d-i? Sounds like a rather severe limitation to me, and it's not obvious how to work around it but to fix it post installation ... And yes, I invested 15min googling the problem and didn't find an answer. FWIW, this difference also appears in Ubuntu 15.10 daily builds, where I noticed it first (15.04 doesn't have the problem). Today I reproduced it in Debian. Let me know if I can help. Alex
