Can't set timezone

[hojnikb]

So i've made a fresh install of archlinux arm (glibc broke my last installation) and now i'm figuring out this systemd thing.
One problem i have is that i can't set the timezone.
When i issue the command
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Madrid
')

i get this error after about a minute
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
')

Any idea how to fix this ??

Just follow the manual route on the beginners guide/installation Manually link.

thank, this actually worked

But i really don't like this systemd thing just yet. It's a nightmare settings everything up, when you are used to old arch ways of doing things.
