Seven hours is here (CST USA) Its what I get when I missconfigure my 
system time so it is normal for me. I believe the system, at least the 
disks I get ships with EST (New York) as the default timezone. If you 
have disks with Polish then they should have a default to somewhere in 
Poland.
There is no defense to dailight saving time which we are currently in.  
The computer handles that so I dont have to worry about it.  This is a 
prime example of special interest running the country.

How do you explain the seven hour difference? Seven hours is almost a third of 
the way around the planet. Now, I know Poland isn't all that much east of the 
Greenwich meridian -- I make it out as two timezones (hours) to the east. 
Throw in the daylight/standard time bit, and you might be able to explain a 
three (or one) hour discrepancy, but not seven. Or has there been a lot of 
continental drift in your parts lately?

Another question: Have you just gone through the transition from daylight to 
standard time? That has screwed me up a few times.

I recall hearing of this before but I dont recall the answer.  You might 
try the archives seems like I saw  it in the last month.

Yes, I dualboot with windows and I always had the time set to local
(also in bios). I have also tried 'Adjust date & time' which is just
temporary help. After restart/reboot the clock problem reappears.

Strange thing is that it did not happen before.

Your system time is confusing UTC & local time. If you dual boot with 
windows then your clock should be set to local time.  If not set the 
system time to UTC and select the correct time zone.  Right click on 
the clock and select 'Adjust date & time'.

[newbie] System time

[Thereidos]

Hi there.

I've got this peculiar problem with the time on my system. This begun to
happen couple of days ago.

After every system reboot or restart (yeah, I turn the computer off) the
clock sets itself to something like -7 hours from my local time.
Example: Now it's 00:13 and it shows me 17:13.

What might be the problem and what can I do to fix it?
