Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2024 4:28 am Post subject: Incorrect date in GNOME |
|
|
Hi, ALL,
I have an incorrect time displayed in GNOME4.
The GNOME Settings panel for the "Date&Time" shows CDT (Chicago) United States. But the time is off by 1 hour and I am currently in Alabama. (so the time zone is correct).
Running "date" in a Terminal shows the same off-by-1hour timestamo.
Did I chose the wrong timezone on install?
Thank you. |

Is the problem that your system time is incorrect by one hour, or that your UTC time is correct and that your local time is wrong? Please run date; date -u, then post the results immediately after, so that we can use the forum's clock (which we presume is correct) to check your local clock. |

My system clock read Thu Apr 18 14:54:26 UTC 2024 when I made my prior post, which aligns with the shown timestamp on my post. Your post appears to be 58 minutes off. You showed Thu Apr 18 04:34:11 PM UTC 2024, but your post is timestamped 3:46 pm in GMT. The difference between CDT and UTC is currently 5 hours, so I think your timezone is right and your system clock is wrong. Is NTP working properly? Does your system keep time properly across reboots? |
