System Time keeps going back to Moscow
Hiya all
Been happening since I installed Knoppix, nows its really getting to me!
My system time keeps defaulting to Moscow. I right click>Adjust Date and Time, change it all to GMT etc etc, but next time I log on it is back to Moscow. All good if I lived in Moscow but...
Help!
Thanks

You need to adjust the system time settings as root to make the changes system wide.

But it asked me for the root password....so I thought I was 'Acrting Root' whilst that window was open...
Am I not right in thinking that?

If I remember my knoppix correctly you need to type 'su' first to enter root mode. There may be a gui app similar to drakconf that runs as root and allows you to change the system time amongst other things.

Well I logged in as root, changed the time but when I log back in as Me it still goes back to Moscow.
Any ideas?

Just tried it, still no go. tzconfig as root and as Me says the timezone is Europe/London, which is correct but it still displays Moscow.
Am I the only one with this problem?

I think i have solved it.
I simply right clicked on the clock>Show Timezones>Local Timezone.
I reconfigured the correct time and logged off, logged back on and it is still correct.
Fingers crossed!!
Thanks to all those that helped
