Why is the clock wrong?

http://askubuntu.com – Ubuntu's clock is off by about a half hour: Where do I even start troubleshooting this? It's allegedly being set "automatically from the Internet". How can I verify that "the Internet" knows what time it is? Details Ubuntu has had plenty of time to communicate with the Internet: $ date; uptime Fri May 18 05:56:00 PDT 2012 05:56:00 up 12 days, 10:48, 2 users, load average: 0.61, 0.96, 1.15 This time server I found via a web search does appear to know the correct time: $ date; ntpdate -q north-america.pool.ntp.org Fri May 18 05:56:09 PDT 2012 server 208.38.65.37, stratum 2, offset 1 (HowTos)

I am running Voyage Linux (a Debian-based distribution) and am having trouble getting the correct date.

Systemd and hwclock 32 weeks 3 days ago

I'm having a fuss with it taking my clock correctly on machine.Now I know what I'm doing, I'm using ntpd.service on the other machines, so I don't have to fuss with the clock.Do a time sync with ntpdate <time.server.ip.address> to get the UTC to read the right time and then when you type date it should be your localtime.

I have an iPod touch (2nd gen) and constant troubles with the clock setting itself one hour ahead of the actual time when I connect it to the computer.

Currently on a system with ubuntu and awesome as the window manager.

For some reason changing the timezone in gnome control center does not do a thing.

I am trying to configure a cisco switch as a ntp client, however I cannot get past the show ntp status of Clock is unsynchronized, stratum 16, no reference clock. I've tried setting the clock close to the UTC time, but i still don't show time synced.

[ubuntu] Locale problem 36 weeks 5 days ago

I'm using 12.04 with Gnome Classic.

I wanted the clock on the right of my top panel to display time in the 24-hour format.

When I checked Date and Time under System Settings, it showed 24-hour, but that hadn't had any effect, since I still had an am-pm clock.

I found this (http://www.bitsbythepound.com/use-a-...buntu-352.html) and followed it.

Now I had 24-hour time, but other changes

A Dual clock 33 weeks 2 days ago

Hi All,

I work on a cruise ship and only have access to satellite internet, which is very slow and VERY expensive (£10 for 170 minutes!!)

I'm looking for a dual clock widget, something like the standard HTC Sense clock but with the ability to overlay a smaller version in one corner.

I just switched from 10.04 to 12.04. When I click the clock and click 'Time & Date Settings' it opens up the general System Settings menu (which itself is a problem, it should go directly to Time/Date settings, but that doesn't concern me). From there I navigate to 'Date and Time'. It gives me the option to switch between AM/PM and 24 hour, but regardless of which I choose, it stays at AM/PM.
