 Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2012 2:00 pm Post subject: KDE clock keeps going UTC |
 |
|
I keep losing an hour. Yesterday I rebooted and my clock went from London time to UTC (London time - 1 hour).
I reset it and find this morning it's back to UTC.
Any ideas?

Are you dual booting this machine.... Windows does the same thing on my machine.

Yes, but I've never had it happen before. Then again, Windows kept crashing yesterday while I was playing Fallout 3.
I got annoyed and uninstalled it, btw.

The game or Windows.
Just check that your BIOS / Windows and KDE are all set the same.

Set your system BIOS clock to UTC and then configure KDE to follow UTC and set up your timezone, etc... you'll also need to set up windows to do that same - no idea on that one...
I had a similar problem dual booting Debian and FreeBSD about 6 months ago. |

I don't want it on UTC though. We are all on British Summer time here.

As far as I know, Windows doesn't know about UTC, so if you're dual-booting with Windows you have to set your Linux system to use local time, not UTC. It's an installation option, but I'm not sure how to do it on a running system.

I think I've got it for the moment. It was defaulting to UTC. I changed it to London time. There must have been something that restored to default occasionally...

Assuming the OP is running Linux Mint, which is Debian-like, then
| Code: | | # dpkg-reconfigure tzdata |

Windows 7 uses UTC.
