Knoppix change time
I have installed knoppix and I can not change local time to Great Britain.
KDE has it as GB but because Linux thinks it is EDT KDE shows 5 huors in advance. I followed the instructions here :- http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?res...review-knoppix And it works but when I reboot the changes have not stayed. |
Set the KDE clock to show localtime and use ntpdate to set the time. For ntp you should have dsl or some such connection though.
Choose a server close to you for instance from http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome This is what I use: markus@mrk-fujibox:~$ cat /etc/default/ntpdate # servers to check. (Separate multiple servers with spaces.) #NTPSERVERS="fi.pool.ntp.org" NTPSERVERS="ntp1.funet.fi" #ntp2.funet.fi # additional options for ntpdate #NTPOPTIONS="-v" NTPOPTIONS="-u" Then do: update-rc.d ntpdate defaults After reboot the time is set correctly. If you for some reason don't get connected to the net when booting up you can sync manually with: ntpdate npt1.funet.fi (replace the server with what you've chosen) Some people use cron to set the time but for a desktop that gets turned off daily this should be enough. |
Hi
That does not really solve the problem in that my PC still thinks that EDT is the correct time and by looking at date, I get the wrong time. The good thing is that KDE now shows the wrong time. |
Try running tzconfig or tzsetup to set the timezone.
What is your BIOS set to? UTC? |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:05 PM. |
