Eastern day time changes in north eastern america. Days will provide longer sunshine. Alas the clock of the panel is wrong or with local time or with UTC New-York, respectively 5:38 and 9:38.
What about you others north eastern americans?
How do you set it right?

1 - set your location cheatcode (timezone)
2 - sync clock with ntp
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org
3 - Set the hardware clock from the current system time
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# hwclock -w

@SlaxMan
Your answer helped me fix a computer which had the wrong time. I checked with
time.gov in Central Standard Time. Great answer! I had checked other sites, but I had to stop ntpd service and run your ntpdate command and it worked
I will use it to sync my other machines as well.

@tonio:
porteus 3.2 is coming. This must be good time to come for you.
This is the panacea. My computer just resumed the good time.
Thanks slaxmax.

Nobody uses GUIs, everything is done via the command line. Just like USM.

This is for systemd.

I think timedatectl is used in systemd based Linux systems.

In other words not Porteus? Or maybe only for Nemesis?

BTW & FYI
Worked on a neighbor's pc today. Had to change his BIOS to support booting from my USB drive. Found his pc's system clock set to local time!! What a surprise.
