Many sysv init scripts used a corresponding file in /etc/default to allow the administrator to configure it. Upstart jobs can be modified using .override files. How do I override or configure systemd units, now that systemd is the default in Ubuntu?
Currently when I execute the date command from bash I get the following displayed
Thu May 17 12:21:00 IST 2012
Below is my timezone config based on executing dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Dublin' Local time is now: Thu May 17 12:32:52 IST 2012. Universal Time is now: Thu May 17 11:32:52 UTC 2012.
Any idea how I change from IST to UTC/GMT?
I feel stupid asking, but I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere. I'm trying to follow these instructions to edit my bash prompt, but there is no .bashrc in either my user directory (~/.bashrc), or in my home directory, or in the main file system directory.
There is no .bashrc in /etc/ (there is a bash.bashrc, however).
Do I create a .bashrc file in my user or home directory? Is there a better, more recent set of instructions for modifying the bash prompt?
I keep getting this warning whenever I try to run sudo apt-get update.

How do I fix it?
What is the ~/.local folder good for and is it safe to remove the content within this folder?
