[Solved] No timezone and bad time in luci

[mpratt14]

At this point it looks like LuCI is just broken somehow

You shouldn't have to install anything else. Busybox should be handling all of this as far as I understand.

It works for you after installing ntpd so maybe busybox is broken too

I have made two different build from scratch, based on the openwrt-19.07 branch...

I will look from master branch and also from the official image from snapshot...

ls -h -l $(opkg files busybox | grep -e ntpd)

19.07 branch is the most stable and has the least problems. Something strange happened to your build. I recommend you start over with

rm .config
make distclean
scripts/feeds update -a
scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig

instead of changing branch

Edit:

for a more extreme reset of your build tree
git checkout v19.07.3
and then the rest

Recompile BusyBox with enabled ntpd applet:

# ls -l $(opkg files busybox | grep -e ntpd)
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          2163 Aug 13 14:56 /etc/init.d/sysntpd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            17 Aug 23 11:49 /usr/sbin/ntpd -> ../../bin/busybox
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            45 Aug 13 14:56 /usr/sbin/ntpd-hotplug

@mpratt14

for a more extreme reset of your build tree
git checkout v19.07.3

Checking out the old v.19.07.3 release instead of the current HEAD of the 19.07 branch would be suboptimal. Newer fixes to 19.07 would be left out.

I made a fresh rebuild and a complete flash...
Looks like my flashing error was the problem...
Fixed ! thanks for your time and your helpfull advices !
