Guest electronic spark Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I selected America/Detroit and when I go back it shows Local timezones selected. I set the clock to 11am current time zone EDT America/Detroit I click Apply, the screen flickers and the time is updated. When I restart it's back to 7am??

tyme Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 is your BIOS set to GMT or local time? During install, it asked you this question (or it should have). If you answered incorrectly, it would fubar your timezone. Take a gander in MCC for clock settings...it should be somewhere in there....if it thinks your BIOS is set to GMT, change it to localtime-or vice versa.

qnr Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 What tyme said. You can change things without rebooting too. You need to sync your hardware clock to the system clock. Since you said in the speed thread that you have Webmin running, that might be the easiest way: Fire up a browser, and access Webmin. Hardware >> System Time >> Time Server In Time Server type "time.nist.gov" and select "Sync System Time/Sync Hardware Time" If it turns out that your time zone is wrong, you can manually enter the correct time in the other dialogs, and then sync them.

Guest electronic spark Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks a million! I love the time sync feature. :D I think I had the set to GMT on. Never give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I use GMT, and as long as Linux knows you're set to GMT, that's what it will sync it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest electronic spark Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I just rebooted using 'static' for both eth cards and it's fine. ... no sharing is not running, I have to run drakgw again I think... :? My time is 1 hr ahead?? :( Let me check it out... ...argh let's try again... when I go to clock 'Adjust Date & Time' it shows me 9:19 and the clock in lower right corner shows 2:19PM?? I'm really confused.. I was just in my bios, the hardware clock was at the correct time 1:19PM.. What are the speps and what to adjust.. last time I did 2 or 3 things at once including the webmin synchro and No to gmt? Thank you all! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 check daylight savings time corrections....not sure where you might find these options. and i guess if it's not adjusting for daylight savings time it would be an hour behind (like this board is-paul?? ;-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest electronic spark Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Ok the local time zone was set to North Dakota? My clock now shows 6:39PM ? the clock in MCC is correct at 1:39PM my clock is now at +5hrs?? So I am going to reboot, check my bios clock and see waht I get... or let me try the webmin thing... hold on...well the webmin is showing right time both for hardaware and system, I will still restart and see what happens. see you in a bit. :) I'm back.. my local time was set to Europe/London ??? I set it back now to America/Detroit and it's fine... :) Never give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest llorgge Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 How would one sync a clock with time.nist.gov without Webmin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
