After fresh install with script installation zone Europe/Madrid not found

[castris]

Hi.

After install I like change some values, such Time Zone of server.

In combo-list-search Europe/Madrid not found, but in shell

timedatectl list-timezones | grep Europe/Madrid

Europe/Madrid

Any idea?

I've had that on fresh installes with Europe/Amsterdam too. I always first update the server (so yum update for example), and then reboot.
Mostly after the reboot suddenly the timezone is suddenly found.

You can also check if it physically exists.
Check the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/ directory for Madrid.

FYI, this is an OS issue, not a DA issue.

@Richard G in my post show timedatectl list-timezones

Also, if this is correct, is not issue of SO, IMHO.

Server was rebooted, and now show image attached. Of course, problem in DA, is if use combo-list problem persiste. Europe/Madrid (mainland) or Europe/Madrid, not exists.



Best regards.

Europe/Madrid (mainland) or Europe/Madrid, not exists.

It does, but you didn't look well. Only difference is in Evo skin, DA uses the name between the brackets. Spain only has 1 timezone so Spain (mainland) is correct.
If you click on that setting in DA, you will see that it looks like this and that in fact "Europe/Madrid" is choosen, but it's displayed as "Spain (mainland)" after it's selected. So there is no issue.

Correct, it just misinformation display country.

 

[castris]

Well. Alright. But if you don't see that as a problem, and leave it as a skin issue, that's fine.

But in the user experience, it is certainly not good. Today, any skin, and any combo-list with search, should show Europe/Madrid, whether without or with (mainland), and even more so if it is the default skin of the installation.

I publish it, as a form of warning that it is something that is not pleasant for the user.

Best regards.

That's a good thing.

You're quite correct, it could be misleading and it's different from the OS default. Maybe @fln can adjust this for the Evo skin so it will display things in the correct way again.
