date -s 9:54

Why when I type date in the terminal it shows the correct date.......but my gnome date thing on the menu is different?

I don't know for gnome, but this command update successfully with fluxbox and kde...

Did you set time region or something similar ? Are only the hours different or the hour + minutes ?

Smokey · 09-20-2004, 11:59 AM

just the hour is wrong :\

So it is a region/internasionalisation problem with your gnome, I don't know gnome at all to help you how to set this...

Hopefully there are some other slackware users here who use gnome

As root, try:

Code:

timeconfig

Be sure to choose the right settings. Should fix you up.

I didn't know this tool

But he said that date display correctly in a terminal (??)

Maybe a problem with offset? I know myself, I set the time with "timeconfig" and rebooted. Checked the BIOS time to make sure it was correct, and never looked back. Maybe check the BIOS clock using the BIOS menu?
