my LFS build is not responding to "Daylight Savings Time"

GameCodingNinja · 11-02-2015, 01:59 PM

I installed ntp so that I could have the system clock reset on shutdown and login. I use Xfce for my desktop and the default clock panel item displays the time and seems to be ignoring "Daylight Savings Time" so it's an hour ahead.

Not sure how to fix this.

I realize now it's not displaying the correct time. I live in the central timezone and if I use the linux command "date" it displays...

...but the real time is 14:18:42 or 2:18 PM. It says 9:18 AM.

check you are using the cprrect ntp server, also I found that if the time was too far out the clock wasn't set correctly, so manually set it first and make sure it's being updated [roperly, away from my machine at the moment so cant tellmyou my settings

I went into /etc/ntp.conf and commented out all the ntp servers except for North America. Not sure if that will help because I'm not sure how to tell if it's using the correct ntp server.

I changed it to the correct time through the date command and then ran ntpd -q. It produced some output and it seems to be working because the correct time survived a restart. I'm just trying stuff because I don't know what I'm doing.

You should try tzselect first.
