The clock applet shows 6:36 pm
Which desktop? If KDE, right click on the clock, then left on "show timezone" and make sure local time is selected. Given what follows, I think it probably is, but just make sure. If Gnome, I can't help you with this selection, but I can't imagine it would be much different.
starting YAST and looking at the time admin panel, I see that the region is set to USA, the Time Zone is set to Eastern, Hardware clock is set to "UTC" and actual time and date is set to 13:36.
I save (without changing anything) and now the applet correctly reads 1:36 (well, 1:41 now). All is well until ---
-- ntpdate runs and the clock applet rolls back to 6:56 pm (I am a slow writer, ignore the minutes)
In the Yast sysconfig editor, verify directly that system/environment/clock/HWCLOCK is set to -u. If not, change it, click "finish" and exit Yast, which should correct the problem. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
