OE2.5 wrong Time for most GMT+2 time zones (OE2.0 ok)


  • I changed Timezones one by one by step right in GUI and there is a result in console -
    First is default GMT + 1 and next all GMT + 2
    The read is one hour forward


    two days before summertime(2017.03.24) also "(GMT+02:00) Jerusalem" started to show one hour +
    then i did change to "(GMT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria" and got correct system time,
    but all previously set timers started one hour earlier


    following is current situation, one day before summertime


    First is default GMT+1, then all GMT+2 and last one is GMT+3


    reds are wrong time for my area
    orange = correct system time, wrong timer recordings


    p.s.
    board's auto corrector have made huge changed in text

  • before follow suggestion install something

    The timezone, see the solution here:
    forums.openpli.org/topic/28528-timezone/page-3


    i have compared content of files OE2.0(dm8000) vs OE2.5(dm900)


    dm900 OE2.5(wrong time, +1 Hour in winter period)


    dm8000 OE2.0 (time OK)


    as you can see configuration values are exactly same,
    BUT file `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul` is different
    have replaced it with file from dm8000 and now system time is correct!!!


    @DMM Developers
    what else information required to solve this problem?

  • problem still not solved :frowning_face:
    moreover, online update overwrites manually copied correct file
    modtime of new file is changed, but content still is wrong


    if DMM developers are waiting EC directives about stop changing time to daylight saving,
    it will not help there - problem is in zero, winter, time

  • I can confirm that I had the same (wrong time) a long time ago.
    I am still using GMT +02.00 (config.timezone.val=(GMT+02:00) Athens, Istanbul, Minsk), I have latest exp. DP Image and no problems at all.


    So correct time is used here.


    MartiniB what image do you use?

  • make backup of current image
    from scratch: flash original DP image without (down)loading any extra plugins and without modding any files, configurethe new image, zap to channel (to get right tp time) and just check the time.

  • after update things went only worse, time diff now is two hours not one as before


    first is GMT+1 (Berlin), last is GMT+3
    all between are each GMT+2



    what is wrong here
