@Danp Yup, that fixed the time and the logs also. Thanks!

I ran that tool and tried both the US/Eastern and America/New_York but I'm still getting a time zone that does not account for daylight savings time. I did reboot inbetween each different sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata region selection.

[07:22 19] xoa@xoa:timesyncd.conf.d$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Current default time zone: 'US/Eastern'
Local time is now:      Sun Oct 19 08:23:19 EDT 2025.
Universal Time is now:  Sun Oct 19 12:23:19 UTC 2025.

[07:24 19] xoa@xoa:timesyncd.conf.d$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Local time is now:      Sun Oct 19 08:25:59 EDT 2025.

Hello, the time looks correct when i run timedatectl. However, you can see that that the time in my bash prompt is not correct. This is in a different timezone. The logs are also an hour off. Is this a bug? I can't find a time setting inside XOA. How does the env variable get updated?

@olivierlambert Good morning, I thought maybe there would be a way to re-install with UEFI enabled. I understand it's a trusted guest, I was just trying to get all my guests enabled with secure boot. Thanks!

Hello, I originally deployed XOA w/ the "Deploy XOA" button on the top right of the screen in XO Lite's dashboard. I also just installed the certs for secureboot certs for my VM's with secureboot-certs install. I wanted to enable secure boot for my XOA VM, but I saw that it had the bios set to default.

I attempted to switch it to UEFI and then enable secure boot, but that caused the VM to be unbootable. How can I enable secure boot for XOA? I don't recall getting an option for UEFI vs BIOS when i provisioned XOA.
