At a time when the clock on the wall said 1642, both the digital clock and the date command showed 1442. That is also what the Date & Time -Personal Settings window said, although I set it manually yesterday to the correct time (clicking on Jerusalem > Apply does nothing).. I tried setting to other cities: Juneau read 0404, and I don't know if that is right or not, but setting Digital Clock to Juneau also makes it read 0404 (a little later now actually). Setting Date & Time to Stockholm makes it read 1413 right now, although if I remember correctly, you are at GMT+1, so your correct time is 1613.
Something is screwed up.
What is the time in your BIOS? Is it GMT? Do you boot any other OS? If so, and the other one comes from Redmond WA USA, then you need to set the bios clock to the local time. The GMT thing only works with Linux. Windows sets the bios clock to the local time - and leaves it that way. What is the time in your BIOS? Is it GMT? I do not think there is much you can do. The main thing you loose is that when the bios clock is not set to GMT, then Linux will not do daylight savings changes automatically. Or, at least it was that way not so very long ago. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
