The vast majority of motherboards I've seen don't have a timezone setting on them, just a date and time and it's up to you to sort out what GMT/UTC is relative to your local time and enter it (the UTC data) appropriately. I guess alternately, you could wait for cronyd or whatever to sync the system clock to UTC, then use "sudo hwclock -w" to set the hardware clock from the system clock. The journal and everything is based on the system clock, which is what cronyd "pokes". The hardware clock is just there to give the system clock a starting point at boot. In Linux case, it expects UTC. In Windows, it expects local time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Physics is like sex ... it may have some practical uses, but - - that's not why we do it. -- Richard Feynman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
