On recent installers the question is not asked anymore (or maybe just in 
expert mode?), but the answer is guessed instead. Since I still have the 
Vista recovery partition on my laptop I get UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS

That's right. I also have set the RTC to UTC.

sm01@stt008:~$ grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS
UTC=yes

sm01@stt008:~$ /sbin/hwclock
mar 07 jun 2011 12:53:25 CEST  -0.130150 segundos

sm01@stt008:~$ date
mar jun  7 12:53:31 CEST 2011

Nothing wrong, ntpd is not enabled (neither installed) by default, but 
I always set it up after the installation. Try and see if you get any 
difference.

AW: Time Issues

[Hardt, Sebastian (IV 1)]

I corrected it too, now.
Here is what i've done.

Set in /etc/default/rcS
UTC=no
And
Date -s '$localtime'

@George Chelidze
Tzselect and tzdata is pretty much the same except for the ui.

Best regards

After installing Debian I had to correct /etc/default/rcS too, I'm from the 
same time zone. I'm not sure if I randomly made a mistake when the installer 
asked me, or if it's a bug.

I always use

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

works like a charm.

After installing Debian I had to correct /etc/default/rcS too, I'm from the 
same time zone.
I'm not sure if I randomly made a mistake when the installer asked me, or if 
it's a bug.

So, you mean there is a shift of +2 hours from RTC clock and system time, 
right?

Just a wild guess, but... at install time there is a question about your 
RTC using "UTC" or "localtime". What did you select?

grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS

Besides, are you syncing the time using ntpd?

Time Issues

[Hardt, Sebastian (IV 1)]

Hi folks,
 
i installed a new server (squeeze) with the new netinsall-iso. now i
started setting time and some issue turned up. here is a part of my
console output.
 

root@xy:/# tzselect
...
The following information has been given:
 
Germany
 
Therefore TZ='Europe/Berlin' will be used.
Local time is now:  Mon Jun  6 18:59:52 CEST 2011.
Universal Time is now:  Mon Jun  6 16:59:52 UTC 2011.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1
 
You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in
again.
 
Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Europe/Berlin
root@xy:/# hwclock
Mo 06 Jun 2011 16:59:56 CEST  -0.765840 seconds
root@xy:/# date
Mo 6. Jun 18:59:59 CEST 2011


 
after i've done some googling, i am a little confused.
 
UTC is 14:59:56
CEST is 16:59:56
 
why is my debian-squeeze telling it's not?

honestly
