Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
mandrake did post a site for a patch to cure the clock problem, but I can't find it anymore.

Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
Hello, We are having this problem sort of at work. We change it VIA LinuxConf and even a few others and it keeps Defaulting back to GMT a few hours later. We have run Grep and Tail commands and everything and still can not figure out why it happens. But if you go to the Mandrake site, I believe there is a fix for your problem if not it is in the RedHat search area.. Thanks, James J.

Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
Hi ! Go to linuxconf in the second page... @+ Seb
Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
GMT would be 5-7 hours ahead of US times. Sorry don't know the answer either. "Ty C. Mixon" wrote: > Looks like you have your clock set to GMT.

Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
I think, that if you right click on the time in the lower right corner of the screen you can get the set time applet. There is a checkbox for GMT, uncheck it. If you can't access it that way, browse through the menus from the K button or better yet use the kcontrol panel icon on the task bar and it might be in there. - Original Message - From: Ty C.

Re: [newbie] Clock wont show correct time
Well, the easy way to change the clock is in the BIOS. When your computer boots up, it usually displays a message "Hit DEL to run SETUP", unless it is a COMPAQ in which case you need an auxiliary disk Set the time there, then save and exit You might also want to check that you specified local time and not GMT when you installed Linux. You can also raise a terminal and run the date command $date --h | less Will explain how to use it. Civileme Dennis Podein wrote: > I am having a problem .
