Eastern day time in north america

[francois]

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

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.

This is great news indeed And thanks to slaxman for his instructions to sync the clock as well They do help in this time of daylight savings crap

Maybe this should be added to porteus setting center.

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

GUIs are somthing that one as a Newbie cannot do without.

On another linux box, slaxmax procedure is so simple to apply.
Thanks once more.

To set timezone:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time#Set_clock

To check the current zone defined for the system:

Code: Select all

$ timedatectl

To list available zones:

Code: Select all

$ timedatectl list-timezones

To change your time zone:

Code: Select all

# timedatectl set-timezone Zone/SubZone 

If you are having issues with the offset of the time, try reinstalling tzdata and then setting yourtime zone again:

Code: Select all

# timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles

This is for systemd.

Porteus 3.2rc5 Cinnamon 64-bit
&
Porteus 3.0.1 LXQT 64-bit

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ timedatectl
bash: timedatectl: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# timedatectl

I think timedatectl is used in systemd based Linux systems.

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.
