Multiple conflicting time zone configurations found

[xXcodgerXx]

I have pykms_Server.py starting from a (user level) crontab with this added line

@reboot python3 py-kms/pykms_Server.py

Works well and activates everything.

But I'm not sure how to resolve this error that shows up in the pykms_logserver.log

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:55:09 WARNING Okay, something went horribly wrong while localizing the request time (proceeding anyways): 'Multiple conflicting time zone configurations found:\n/etc/timezone: Etc/UTC\n/etc/localtime is a symlink to: America/New_York\nFix the configuration, or set the time zone in a TZ environment variable.\n'

pykms_logserver.log

I use

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

Which creates the symbolic link

I have pip, tzlocal, and tz installed and set the same time zone there like this

1) tzselect (then select the proper options 2)Americas, 49)United States 1) Eastern (most areas) ) - This set the time zone to 'America/New_York'

2) sudo tzselect ((then select the proper options 2)Americas, 49)United States 1) Eastern (most areas) ) - This set the time zone to 'America/New_York'

3)

TZ='America/New_York'; export TZ

Any ideas?

Thank you

have you tried dpkg-reconfigure tzdata? You seem to be running a debian based distro so I based this from this question on unix stackexchange

Double check /etc/localtime where it is a symlink of, you might be able to just delete /etc/utc. Then check contents for /etc/timezone, it should only have America/New_York

Yes. It looks like /etc/timezone contained Etc/UTC

running

reconfigure tzdata changed /etc/timezone to America/New_York

This was probably the problem - Thanks

That definitely was the problem. Thanks. I guess mark as closed?
