Cannot set time of clock

Dead1nside · #1 29th July 2009, 09:28 PM

When installing I perhaps mistakingly told Fedora it should use the BIOS clock and now it shows the wrong time, 1 hour ahead of my time-zone GMT+0.

If I try and go to the preferences and set the time the 'Advanced Options' one of which I need are grayed out, I need the 'Use local time source' option to be unchecked. Could somebody tell me a workaround or the command-line commands to tell it not to do this anymore?

Thank-you.

Is your BIOS set to GMT. Note that if you set Fedora to local time, it will do that to your bios.

You can edit the file /etc/adjtime

Where it says UTC, change it to LOCAL

Yes I think my BIOS is set to GMT.

Thanks for the help, I've edited that file to 'LOCAL' and hopefully that'll solve the problem. I only checked it during installation to experiment, thinking I could change it later, didn't realise it would have an adverse effect on my time.

Thanks again.
