The timezone fixes are:
commit 597d177567234c3a539098c423649781424eeb6f
Author: Laszlo Ersek <lersek(a)redhat.com>
Date: Tue Mar 8 15:30:51 2022 +0100
convert_windows: rewrite "configure_qemu_ga" script purely in PowerShell
commit d9dc6c42ae64ba92993dbd9477f003ba73fcfa2f
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
Date: Fri Nov 12 08:47:55 2021 +0000
convert/convert_windows.ml: Handle date formats with dots instead of /
They are all included in >= 2.0
I wonder if 597d177567 has a subtle flaw, or if we introduced a bug
somewhere when refactoring this code later.
Lee: Do you have a theory about exactly what is wrong with the
schtasks date? Like what was it supposed to be, assuming it was 120
seconds in the future from boot time, versus what it was set to:
> Firstboot-qemu-ga 9/21/2023 4:04:00 PM Ready
Could a date or time field have not been swapped or been corrupted
in some predictable way?
Or in even simpler terms, what is the time (and timezone) that
this ^^^ machine was booted?
Rich.
The code we run is here:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs-common/blob/e70d89a58dae068be2e1...
Ming: this could be a bug affecting PST (UTC-8) guests, perhaps
somehow related to having a single digit month field?
Rich.
