Porteus kiosk resetting time in BIOS

Post#1 by Kshef » 03 Sep 2021, 09:56

Hello
I am having a bit of trouble with a newly setup porteus kiosk. Not too sure why but everytime the computer boots from the USB with the porteus kiosk configuration, the system time in the PC BIOS keeps going back an hour which causes the porteus kiosk from working/loading properly. When setting it up in the wizard, I have tried disabling the time zone as well as enabling it with Europe/London selected and also tried enabling it with GMT selected. Since the PC BIOS system clock goes back one hour I presume this is to do with daylight savings time however using london or GMT as the timezone doesnt fix this? Is there a way that stops the porteus kiosk from changing the PC system time in the BIOS?

Yes - please check the kiosk FAQ.

It should be your first source of information.

Thanks
