I installed Lucid a couple of days ago, I believe it was the Alpha 2 release ISO. Things went well enough (not counting that nasty "can't find ethias theme" bug from an update) except for every time I tried to set my time zone in the installer, it would crash. So I left it at default, which was Andora, thinking I could just change it later.
So now it's later, and when I go into the Time and Date settings, I can select a different time zone, but the apply button does not become active. In short, I can't change it there.
So then I ran "sudo tzselect" and went through the steps to change it that way. At the end of the setup, tzselect tells me to add a line to ~/.profile and then logout and log back in. But, the clock still defaults to Andora as local time, even though "echo $TZ" reports the correct time zone. Going back into Time and Date settings shows Andora as the current time zone. I have modified the .profile in both my user and root.
Anyone have any suggestions besides just telling the clock to show a different time zone? Since the system is off, it reports my mail as having been sent at a different time.
Thanks!
