Comment 20 for bug 442941

im newbie in linux. im a windowser.

i "solved" the problem by reinstalling the packet "tzdata".

after that i could do what i want. so far i remember now.

but because im a beginner and i like to install i installed ubuntu at
the usb again.

but im impressed about the reaction here. great.

bye
