Fedora 9 time zone problem

[Ulat]

Hi.

I have a problem with system time in Fedora 9. In Windows XP is always different time that in Fedora (for example: XP: 14:00, Fedora: 16:00), and I don't now how to fix this. Because sometimes I must use Windows for work this is a problem for me.

I don't experienced this "issue" in Fedora 8.

Is there any solution for that? I set timezone to Warsaw/Poland - so maybe changing that setting will help? (In F8 I set same timezone and everything was fine).

Thanks for help.

Warsaw is 2 hours ahead of London, perhaps London is set as the timezone in Windows?

You can adjust the timezone and clock settings by right-clicking the clock applet in the top corner. If you're sure the timezone is correct, then just manually set the time and post a bug on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

If you're going to dual boot Windows and Fedora, make sure you uncheck the UTC block.

Unchecking the UTC helps. Thanks. Next time I will remember to uncheck this option.

Well I have the same problem, but it worked fine with FC8 and I was sure UTC system clock was unchecked.

make sure you uncheck the UTC block.

Now I can't find anymore where this can be done...

right-clicking the clock applet, selecting adjust date & time don't show any choice and UTC system time....

I believe you do this by running the command system-config-time.
NB: I'm connected in Windows now, so I can't check it at the moment.

no by right clicking the clock applet.

But that's the reason why I didn't find the UTC option. It actually can be reached (only) with system-config-time.

This is different from FC8

I am having same problem and when I uncheck the "System Clock uses UTC" it gives an error in terminal as

[prince@localhost ~]$ system-config-time
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise Error, "`%s` and `%s` are the same file" % (src, dst)

Please help to come out of this problem.
