Hi Steven,

Actually your time is correct but it is displayed in military time.  
Following this will give you the traditional AM/PM designations.

Assuming you are using KDE for your desktop.

RMB click on the time
select 'Date and Time Format'
select the 'Time and Dates' tab
select the 'Time Format' drop down and you'll see another choice similar 
to 'pH:MM:SS AMPM'
Select and apply

It probably won't take immediately but it will the next time you logout 
and login to X or reboot.

Good Luck,

columbo
