Unsolved How to change time zone?

[acris]

HELLO

In recalbox.conf : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-(EN)

# ------------ F - Language and keyboard ------------ #
## Set the language of the system (fr_FR,en_US,en_GB,de_DE,pt_BR,es_ES,it_IT,eu_ES,tr_TR,zh_CN)
system.language=en_US
## set the keyboard layout (fr,en,de,us,es)
;system.kblayout=us
## Set you local time
## Select your timezone from : ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/ (string)
system.timezone=Europe/Paris

@acris Got it, but what should I put in system.timezone=

[DjLeChuck]

One of this:

Brazil/Acre
Brazil/DeNoronha
Brazil/East
Brazil/West

List of timezones : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

Didn't work.
Tryed Brazil/East
Brazil/West
América/Sao_Paulo

timezone is not set in recalbox.conf. I found a way to set to Brazil.

1 - Remount your / filesystem to read-write

mount -o remount,rw /

2 - Unkink the /etc/localtime since it is set to Europe/Paris

unlink /etc/localtime

3 - create new symbolic link to Brazil/Sao_Paulo
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo localtime

And finally type date to see your new timezone

date

Thu Sep 15 17:27:03 BRT 2016

Hope this helps.

@Robson-Maniasso said in How to change time zone?:

Why didn't you just try system.timezone=America/Sao_Paulo instead of your trick ?

[RodsBrito]

@subs I've tryed it, but did not work

What worked for me was changing it in kodi. It affected the rest of the system that way. Start up kodi, settings/appearance/international/timezone.

May work for you but best of luck~

@blackmagik you're right. kodi is the best way. my time zone isn't correct, put I think it's because of summer time. I'll try to solve this. Thanks.
