Just a note on your problem from my experience. First use package
manager and remove tzdata and util-linux then run deborphan as root
from terminal using the commands in brackets ( $ sudo deborphan | xargs
apt-get remove --purge -y)to remove orphan packages left over. If you do
not have deborphan you can download using package manager. Change your
time zone to europe and use synaptic package manager to reinstall tzdata
and util-linux. After it reinstalls change your time zone back to your
location and restart your machine. These are the steps I used to recover
my machine after my upgrade to V7.10. My machine crashed after this last
upgrade and it took a good bit of time to get my machine running as it
did before the upgrade. I had some applications that I use that did not
work after the upgrade and it took some doing to get things back as
before. But thats and other story. I must say I have been a Windows user
since the very beginning and even with some of the problems, I have
never regretted changing to Ubuntu.
