[SOLVED] BIOS time issue
Posted: 29 Jul 2017, 20:48
I am working with my first installation of porteus. I am having an issue with the time.
I set the bios time to the local time (America/Detroit). I configure Porteus to use timezone=America/Detroit and load from saved file and burn to drive. After Porteus 4.4.0 boots, the bios time is shifted forward four hours to GMT. (I have a slow 1.5 Mbps internet connection for the kiosk.)
I want my kiosk to turn on a a certain time based on the bios time. Currently I have shifted the time by four hours (America/Detriot is four hours behind GMT), but I am not sure if I am seeing a bug, or if I am not understanding that Porteus uses only GMT even with the time zone set.
