Clock
After installing 13.2.0 on a XO-1.5, the clock was set with:
sudo date --set="2013-10-17 7:10"
All appears well except that Gnome displays UTC rather than local time. The offset from Greenwich shown by the location under the calendar is right. How can local time be specified? --Peasthope 15:45, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- To set the time zone, start Terminal, paste this:
sudo yum install -y system-config-date
- then in the Gnome menu select Applications -> Other -> System-Config-Date (Set Date & Time), select the Time Zone tab, select the city, leave System clock uses UTC set, click OK, see the Gnome clock change, click Cancel.
- Alternatively, identify and copy an appropriate timezone file from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime:
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Iceland /etc/localtime
- Using date is slow and cumbersome. To set the time more easily, start Terminal, paste this:
sudo yum install -y ntpdate && sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
- Your other question was moved to Talk:Releases. --Quozl 02:54, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
