Too many clocks...

What subject does 'time' fall under?

Mepis 3.3.2Test03

The situation: I am unable to display my local time (EDT) on my desktop and keep the setting after reboot.

The hardware clock is set correctly and for UTC. (hwclock)

The system clock is set correctly and for UTC (date).

 cat etc/timezone</p>
<p>America/New_York 

'rcS' file is:
UTC=yes

What am I missing (besides the answer)?Puzzled

q

Time

Right click on the clock, select show time zone, configure time zone. If thats not what your looking all the settings are there u can change everything.

ntpdate?

qtech, are you running ntpdate at some point to synchronize time?

Also, how are you trying to set your time (through what methods)?

Usually when I have a fresh install, when I go to set the time through KDE, I go through a two-step process. First I change time zone and apply it then, if necessary, go back in and adjust the time. If I try to do both steps at the same time then either the time zone or the time does not "take".

Quite honestly, I'd like to change my system clock so it's set to UTC with the local time showing on my KDE desktop set to Pacific time, so the opposite of your problem Smiling

too many clocks?

If nothing works set a Salvador Dali wallpaper and call Mepis "art project: meaning of time"
