Linux + Windows dual-boot... time messes up when switching OS
I have Windows and Linux (Fedora Core 9) installed, dual-boot, on my laptop. I primarily use Windows (Vista...), but I sometimes switch over to Linux.
Whenever I run Linux, my system time gets offset by around 5 hours, forcing me to manually adjust the time every time I boot Linux. How do I fix this? |
You can use either local time or Greenwich Mean Time. You are probably using a mixture of the two. Get your BIOS, Linux, and Windows all using the same time and the problem should go away.

They call Greenwich Mean Time "UTC". Somewhere, you probably have a setting saying to use UTC or told it during installation that your system was using UTC (I'm not sure what Fedora says, but I inadvertently did this when installing one of the distros I've looked at), when your system is really using local time. If you have a scout around, you might find something to uncheck regarding using UTC.

Fixed it with that method, thanks.
Details for people who need the info in the future: 1. Go to Adjust Time in Linux 2. In one of the tabs there, disable the UTC checkbox option. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:10 AM. |
