Settz returns 'Read-only file system'

Legato Linux distribution (Yocto project)

I’m trying to set the time zone on my WP7607 using the settz command from the mangoh virtual machine. First I run bin/legs from the legato directory, then I run settz 192.168.2.2. However it fails to set the time zone on the target:

Setting target timezone same as host
*root@192.168.2.2’s password: *
scp: /etc/localtime: Read-only file system

How can I fix this?

Is it possible to change the timezone from the target itself?

Hi @jlu,
Can you try renaming(mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.backup) the file ‘localtime’ on the target and then run settz 192.168.2.2 .

You can try changing the timezone from the target also, For that first rename the (mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.backup) the file ‘localtime’ and then create the softlink for the file ‘localtime’ to the timezone you need. For example if you want to change the timezone to London, Create the softlink like below:

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London localtime

You can find the different timezones in the path /usr/share/zoneinfo/.
