From: Herpiko Dwi Aguno Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Subject: fix: default the timezone pin to Asia/Jakarta The locale module was shipped without a configuration file, so Calamares used its own fallback for the starting location: America/New_York. Neither locale.conf nor welcome.conf enabled GeoIP, so nothing ever moved that pin. Unless the user noticed the map on the locale page and clicked Jakarta themselves, the installed system got New_York -- which is what "the installer said Jakarta but the clock is wrong" turns out to be: the language and keyboard came out Indonesian because those are picked from visible lists, the timezone did not because it is picked from a map that was already showing a plausible looking pin. GeoIP is left off deliberately: it needs a working Internet connection, which an offline install does not have, and where there is one it would undo this default for anyone installing from abroad. --- calamares/modules/locale.conf | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 calamares/modules/locale.conf diff --git a/calamares/modules/locale.conf b/calamares/modules/locale.conf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..79f1d29 --- /dev/null +++ b/calamares/modules/locale.conf @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +--- +# Where the pin on the timezone map starts out.
