Hello!
Btw. I have endless problems with time settings... I'm in GMT+2 zone. Hardware clock is set to local time.
Setting hardware clock to UTC makes life much easier. (and UTC never switches, it's absolute)
In the "Select Time Zone" I've set GMT+2.
That's correct
In KDE in the "Adjust Date Time" I've set Europe/Minsk.
This seems excessive.
Now, when I'm starting "Select Time Zone" it modifies time at start (from 16:15 to 21:16 e.g.) without asking nothing. That's really boring :(
It just does what you asked it to do :-)
Another problem when starting system and KDE, I see time -4 hours to real...
hwclock -r displays 11:29 now (I've 16:29)....
It might only mean that your hardware clock is not set to localtime.
Tested with hardware clock, set to UTC - the same...
If you set hardware clock to UTC you must also specify HWCLOCK="-u" TIMEZONE="Europe/Minsk" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="Europe/Minsk" in /etc/sysconfig/clock Though I am no sure about Europe/Minsk. I've been using EET when I was in Minsk. Actually, I just checked a server I'm still administering over there, it uses EET and hwclock set to UTC and has no problem: HWCLOCK="-u" TIMEZONE="EET" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="EET" date on that system reports Mon Mar 31 00:29:29 EEST 2003 right now.
