[SOLVED] cat: /etc/timezone: No such file or directory

[lennart]

On a new Proxmox 9.1 installation I noticed there is no timezone set anymore in the GUI.
When I run cat /etc/timezone I also don't get any output (No such file or directory), while on another older node this file exists.

Did this change with Debian 13.x or Proxmox 9.x?

Hi,

It's a Debian change, now it's /etc/localtime which is a symlink to the current timezone.

See the changelog of the tzdata package.

Best regards,

Shouldn't the Proxmox GUI also reflect this change then?

Hi,

You should open a bug report if you think this is a bug (I don't use PVE9).

Best regards,

This is tracked in: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7175 - once this is fixed the GUI should display the correct information again
