When I select a different timezone (eg. one from europe) in Anaconda during installation from a kde livecd the monitor will suspend when Anaconda changes the timezone (AFAIK after formatting the partitions). It will come back when moving the mouse or hitting any key. But I think this is a little bit confusing for non-experienced users.
In gnome livecd this would not happen. I'm not sure if this is related to anaconda, metacity/gnome or kwin/kde (powersaving is disabled in kde). I've also tried this with installing and using openbox on the gnome cd. Then the monitor is also suspended.
Any ideas how to solve this?
The problem is that we need to be able to change the timezone so that files are created with the correct timestamp.
Then I have a question: When booting the livecd is the time taken from the bios?
Example: I'm booting the livecd. My bios clock says it is 10 am. The timezone on the livecd is US/Eastern. When Gnome or KDE is starting the panel clock says it's 10 am in US/Eastern. When installing I'm changing the timezone in anaconda because I live in germany (Europe/Berlin). Now the timezone is correct but the clock changed to 4 am. If I check "UTC" this time will also be saved to my bios clock.
Is this the correct timestamp? Because the times would be wrong from my point of view (Europe). Or am I missing something here?
If only there were a nice way that worked across desktops to inhibit the screensaver being triggered. Alas, not there yet
Not sure if this is the screensaver. In KDE it is disabled. In my test with openbox I haven't startet any.
