I’ve done some google searching on this problem and found others with the same problem. Some say it is a bug, but i haven’t been able to find a solution. Tried using different time servers but i always get the same error:
Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 7, DBus Backend error: could not contact the helper. Connection error: . Message error: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

What commands/processes are you trying to use to set the time?
I’m using kde. I tried adjusting through the command line and it did correct the time. Although it seems to be running as 24 hour clock or military time. Any way to switch to regular time through cli.

No, the method used by the CLI to display the time is independent of the
way the GUI displays it. It is the same clock with different faces.
