One of them lists UTC; the other list US/Eastern. I'm trying to get the machine to think in UTC but present my user experience in US/Eastern -- and another's experience in US/Pacific, or any other time zone. So far, the results have been mixed :-(
Thanks again!
:-D
You can cat the whole file if you wish: cer@Telcontar:~> cat /etc/adjtime -0.660032 1599685540 0.000000 1599685540 UTC cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> ssh -X cer@Isengard.valinor Last login: Fri Sep 4 00:14:23 2020 from 192.168.1.14 Have a lot of fun... cer@Isengard:~> cat /etc/adjtime 0.000000 1586713427 0.000000 1586713427 UTC cer@Isengard:~> exit logout Connection to isengard.valinor closed. cer@Telcontar:~> ssh -X cer@minas-tirith.valinor Last login: Wed Sep 9 14:57:14 2020 from 192.168.1.135 Have a lot of fun... cer@minas-tirith:~> cat /etc/adjtime 0.260298 1598374349 0.000000 1598374349 UTC cer@minas-tirith:~> Having UTC is typical on machines that only boot Linux, while "LOCAL" is typical on machines that doubleboot to Windows. However, there is a trick explained on the link in the OP on how to change Windows to use UTC as well. There have been requests to ask M$ to switch to UTC as default, but so far, they haven't. There is a hidden config, and at least it works. We think :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
