Hey all,

we use System-Autoboot by BIOS for our advertising systems.

We notice now that after the Porteus Kiosk is up the time in BIOS is wrong and during next day the System boot up 2 hours to late.

Code: Select all

root@W****:/usr/share/zoneinfo# hwclock
Tue Jun 23 07:19:31 2020  0.000000 seconds
root@W****:/usr/share/zoneinfo# date
Tue 23 Jun 2020 09:19:35 AM CEST
Is there any parameter to set it to correct time and date? (The systems have no connection to the internet!)

Thanks a lot and regards,
Flash

Flash,

Kiosk uses NTP protocol to sync the time. If you want to use the time from the BIOS then please check FAQ on the kiosk website.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
