Hi all. my system time is getting changed automatically(4 hours delay) even if i set the correct time zone. hw can i resolve it?

Is your hardware clock OK?
main board battery?

Does Fedora follow it?

Have you set the system time and time zone as root ?

Are you dual-booting with Windows? If so, you need to have the hardware time setting ("System uses UTC") turned off, since Windows doesn't alow UTC, and automatically (re)sets your clock when your Internet connection to Windows is active.

this sounds like a dual boot issue with Windows .See the above post

win and *nix do things differently with the clock

yes it is dual boot.. hw can i solve it

some googling would show that Microsoft sets the hardware clock to your LOCAL time zone
then converts it to ut for posting on forums , this only " sort of works" and dose not work well

Nix sets the clock to UT then converts it to local time to display on the desktop
and posts ut time to forums ( this works MUCH better )


unfortunately MS dose NOT PLAY NICE with this .So you are STUCK using the " less better" solution of using Microsoft to set the hardware clock and telling linux to use THAT method

in windows turn ON " set time from network "
and in linux TURN OFF the "set time from network "

thanks..

Or in Date/Time Properties --> Time Zone, unckeck 'System Clock uses UTC' in linux.
