I entered "London" but the page reverted back to its probable default -5GMT.
I have a server running ArchLinux; I recently installed openntpd on it. Since I started paying closer attention to the clock, I started noticing other things; specifically when I run the "date" command, it's returned in PST when it should be "EST":
[spice@sandbox ~]$ date
Sat Mar 6 00:17:42 PST 2010
I have set the hwclock to localtime, configured "HARDWARECLOCK" to "localtime" in rc.conf, and chosen two different (but accurate) values for TIMEZONE in rc.conf:
[spice@sandbox ~]$ hwclock
Sat 06 Mar 2010 03:17:38 AM PST -0.922220 seconds
[spice@sandbox ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep TIMEZONE
TIMEZONE="US/Eastern"
[spice@sandbox ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep HARDWARE
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
However, as you can see, "hwclock" and "date" both say they're showing PST, although hwclock is showing the time in EST. I am not sure whether this was the case before installing openntpd. Is there another place where I should be setting the time zone?
I just installed antix. It asked for time zones and I set all of that up but it is 3hrs off. My computer clock is correct, why can't I just set up antix to recognize my computer clock? Or why doesn't it just use that as a default?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to change my time zone (not time, but the time zone). Just as an experiment.
I am GMT.
I go to /etc/timezone and enter US/Eastern.
I know that Gmail uses JavaScript to check the computers time zone (not the time). Therefore if I sent an e-mail from Gmail to myself at Gmail it should show the new time.
But it does not. It shows my GMT. Obviously Eastern time is behind GMT.
(The same happens if I just change the time using date -u). Gmail shows the GMT rather than the time a certain number of hours behind the GMT.
How can I set the time zone on my computer so that webmail like Gmail recognises the new time zone?
since the upgrade tzdata (2011c-0ubuntu0.10.04) to 2011d-0ubuntu0.10.04which I installed on Saturday, ntp updates seem to put me in GMT time.I've switched to manual time settings, as it does horrific things to my mythtv database!I'm not sure if its the upgrade, or the ntp time servers. My timezone is Australia/Tasmania.

My time zone is set right. I look at yest. And it set to the right time zone. But it said 02:04 am. When it should be about 19:07 PM! I'm not sure what to do. As for my language problem. I'm not sure. Took a look at yest again. But I'm having a ton of spelling error. How to do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a script to record a weekly radio show from a Sydney radio station.I am in Brisbane.Sydney and Brisbane are both in the same time zone but Sydney(NSW) bounces around on daylight savings time and Brisbane(QLD) does not. Is there a way to specify a timezone for a specific job in the crontab file? If so what would be the format for Sydney so it follows the daylight savings time changes? Right now I will just change the cron schedule when Sydney goes on and off DST.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a function (prefer POSIX, but Linux specific would do if it has to) to get the current timezone offset. For my location, eastern USA, that should be -14400 when daylight time is in effect, and -18000 otherwise.

How can I achieve this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAttempting to install 10.04... I can get to the "Where are you?" screen, then the little circular "please wait" cursor spins forever and ever.
Here are a few things I've tried, with no success:Leaving it alone for hours, hoping it was just taking a really long time. No Dice. Unplugging any hardware that might be causing a problem, including the network card. No dice. Burning it to CD, DVD, and booting from a USB key. No dice. Trying every combination of kernel options I could find in the forums, and setting most combinations found in the "more options" menu in the boot screen. No dice. Booting into the live environment, then installing from there (instead of just choosing "install" directly). No Dice. Booting both from the 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs (my machine is 64-bit)
Note: I have not tried just upgrading from my 9.10 install, and I will not try this. If I can't get a live CD to boot, there's no way I would voluntarily hose my current system by upgrading.
Also note: I checked the MD5 of the ISO, and did the "check the disk for defects" menu option as well. Everything checks out fine.
I frequently travel between San Diego and Boston. I am able to add "Locations" to Gnome's Clock applet, which seems like it should take care of time zone information (see attached screenshot). However, I can't figure out how to set one (or the other) as my current location so that it will update my time zone information.

I am changing the password of a truecrypt file container. This takes around 1 minute. Why?
time truecrypt --text --change /tmp/user1.tc --keyfiles= --new-keyfiles= --password=known --new-password=known --random-source=/dev/null"
If I use strace I see that it basically does not do anything: it simply reads lots of random data from /dev/urandom (even if i specified /dev/null as random source) and finally changes the password:
open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 6
read(6, "36&{35121221234320234313242312I326235245224300354O)270Q200 201J227224311_212367"..., 640) = 640
close(6) = 0

I found a way to change the kernel time zone with the following command
$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/* /etc/localtime
After I tried it and checked the kernel time zone, but it didn't changed.
It seemed to be applied after rebooting.
Is there any way to change the kernel time zone "dynamically" with the
console command, not with the GUI environment?

I'd like to change a files modification date "only" without changing the time. I'm aware of the 'touch' command but is seems like it only allows changing both the date and time, and not one of them. Any ideas on an easy way to change a file's modification date without also changing its time? (I have a long list of files and thus would like to run one to command to change them all)Example: Change a file's (month) timestamp from "2010-09-23 11:59:23" to "2010-10-23 11:59:23"Background: I accidentally set the wrong month on my camera and ended up with all photos having a modification timestamp with the wrong month.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus laptop with both Win7 and Fedora. Whenever I change the time in Fedora to the correct time and reboot into W7 the W7 time is messed up - about 7 hours earlier. If I set W7's time to the correct time and then reboot to Fedora, Fedora's time is then 7 hours early. For some reason I can't get both OS's to agree it's the same time.

Looking at a random file in my home directory I can see it was last accessed yesterday (I didn't open this file yesterday) so it was presumably my virus scan. No problem there Now I have opened the file today,rescanned the file for viruses and read the file in Python and the file access time remains the same!I have checked the access time by right clicking on the file and choosing Properties, using "ls -lu", and using os.stat(path) in Python.
