I can over most cases with the following: add this to /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/tz.conf for services: [Manager] DefaultEnvironment="TZ=:/etc/localtime" add this to /etc/profile.d/tz.sh for login shells: export TZ=:/etc/localtime add this to /etc/bash.bashrc for interactive non-login shells: export TZ=:/etc/localtime add this to /etc/environment as a catch-all: TZ=:/etc/localtime Andrew -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
