hi
my utc time is example: 23h00. it’s the same time for the bios.
date return me 00:00
i live in france, in kde, i can see: utc: 23h00, paris 00:00
but the correct time it’s 23h00 for paris
what i need to change to fix this problem?
thanks
Is this on a laptop? Or a desktop machine?
Is this on a dual booting machine, i.e. with Windows?
Did you set the correct time zone?

In a terminal, as root, do:
hwclock --debug ; date
and post all that inside code tags. Advanced editor, ‘#’ button.

i use a laptop andonly have linux
hwclock from util-linux 2.21.2
Using /dev interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1351368902 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1351368902 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on UTC time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick…
…got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2012/11/12 07:30:16
Hw clock time : 2012/11/12 07:30:16 = 1352705416 seconds since 1969
lun. 12 nov. 2012 07:30:16 UTC -0.283095 seconds
lun. nov. 12 07:30:13 UTC 2012
in kde, i removed paris time and now i see the same time for local and utc.
if i said to display paris, it’s like +1 hours from utc
Your timezone is set to UTC. If you now set time to wallclock in CET timezone, your time is effectively offset by one hour. You have to configure your system to use correct timezone and then change time to correct Paris time.
so i need to do it with date command?

I told you to use code tags, and you did not. And as you did not post it
all, including the command line before and after, I don’t know if you
did it correctly as root or not.
So, the user that run the above (root or not) is not using Paris time,
but UTC time. You have to correct that - in yast it is systemwide point
and click on paris). Do it, log out, in, and retest.

to run this command, you need to be run root, thanks to the sbin folder

Sorry, I can’t look at those images: my Internet at the moment is capped
at 500 MB/month. But the paste below tells me what I need

So both CMOS clock and System clock are correct now.
> paris time it’s 20:12
Yep. So at this point the system is correct. However, if your KDE clock
is still wrong, then it is an issue with KDE only. I remember a post
recently with the same problem as you: I don’t remember if the issue was
a kde theme or the applet configuration.

Found it.
