Time Setting

Hi All

My system and hardware time are off;  right now, its showing 00:24 am, when over here in CST, it's 7:24 pm.  I have followed the guide;

Any thoughts?

Re: Time Setting

Install glibc-locale too. It comes with possible timezones. You can see them in /usr/share/zoneinfo and you can set it either how mojo described it or via "Red Spider Menu"---> System Tools ---> Control Box ---> Time tab by changing the Timezone box and clicking Change.

You can either copy the timezone from the directory into the main /usr/share/zoneinfo directory or you can add the directory to the thing what you add in the Timezone box. For example, I use /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Windhoek as my TZ file, so in my Timezome box I have it added as Africa/Windhoek.

I hope that makes sense

I did both of those and my clock still says 4:53a.m. and it's 12:00a.m.

Re: Time Setting

Have you restarted the machine or ran something like ntpdate to update the time? Do you have Windows running on your system? What exactly did you change and how?

Do you see the trend here? The more information you can provide, the easier it's to help you.
