Synopsis
system-config-date bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-date package that fixes a bug when run by
firstboot is now available.
Description
system-config-date is a graphical interface for changing the system date
and time, configuring the system time zone, and setting up the NTP daemon
to synchronize the time of the system with an NTP time server.
When run as part of firstboot, system-config-date erroneously deleted some
widgets instead of hiding them. This caused "An error has occurred in the
timezone module..." errors to present when trying to display the time-zone
screen. With this update the widgets are, correctly, hidden and not
removed, ensuring the time-zone screen displays as expected.
All users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
