Hi,

I seem to be getting timezone error. I looked at the earlier references. Wasn't this issue suppose to have been taken care off. Am I missing something?

I use ubuntu 10.04 64-bit

Thank you Akhil

I get that quite often after fresh install.

Easiest fix for me is to edit etc/sys/config.props and (un)comment / edit:

timezone=New_York

Asia/Kolkata isn't a timezone as defined by the tzinfo database. I see there is a comment under Asia/Calcutta for it, but no actual definition. So you will need to manually configure via etc/sys/config.props.

Wasn't this issue suppose to have been taken care off. Am I missing something?

Is it actually preventing the Fan VM from starting? Or just dumping an error?

Things should still work, you just won't have the right timezone when working with DateTime APIs.

Hi,

Changing from Kolkata to Calcutta in etc/sys/config.props did the job.

It was just dumping an error, never prevented fan vm working.

Thanks for the help
