I know I'm gonna feel embarrased by the end of this thread but what the hell:

Right... I have always had a problem with the clock when using linux [but never used linux enough to sort it out] and I'm sticking with linux now but the clock will not stay at the time I set it. I live in the UK and I have the timezone set to Europe/London but the damn thing seems to jump an hour ahead everytime I reboot the system.... so I'll set it back again... next time I boot up it's an hour forward again. I've tried a few other Tzones but no idea at all... I don't remember having this problem when I tried Suse... only mandrake 7 and mandrake 9.1

Any ideas? Or if you just want to make me feel dumb, feel free to throw the answer in my direction

Thanks

Did you change the time via the BIOS, or just the software?

just the software...

my BIOS is fine. It's been fine for the past several months... just mandrake

thanks

I tell a lie... now it's jumped forward by 2 hours!

The damn thing can't make it's mind up.... help... please

Thanks

nevermind... it's sorted. I scrapped the "adjust date/time" thing and went for LinuxConf.

All sorted I do believe.

i lie again....

just ran the command "date" in console and the time is showing as an hour earlier in there..... poooooop

check the bios or choose a diffrent time zone to satisfy your needs

I have played with them. I have tried different timescales and eventually found something that KDE shows as the right time.. eventually. But now the console shows it differently
