Running 12.2 64 bit and im loving it. All runs fast and smooth except one annoying thing and I cant get it to correct.
The time in the lower task bar keeps changing. I have had it set to the different ntp servers as well as manually and it keeps changing to some off the wall time. Showing UTC time instead of my local time. I change it and within 10 minutes it changes back. Pissing me off.
Im running my NTP on my own server and I wish I could set it to just grab the time from it but it wont let me.
Anyone else having this issue or know how I can correct it or go in and change it permanently or even set it to grab time from my server?
It didnt do this in 12.1 64 bit only when I installed 12.2 64 bit. I did a fresh clean install, no upgrade
Several. If you search around you will find the threads. Not related at all to 64 bit hardware,
so I doubt you will find them in this subforum dedicated to 64bit hardware.
For example, one thread named “Clock is constantly off” in the app subforum.

Yes I do have a win7 64 bit partition but that time is correct whenever I boot into it. Bios clock is the correct time as well.
Sorry I didnt search under “clock”. I only searched under “time” and nothing was fitting.
Ill saerch under clock

It’s not that difficult to find, I told you the tittle:
I’m not too sure what’s happening but all my PCs that have a Windows 7 partition have the problem where the clock (and sometimes date, depending on how many hours are offset) will get changed in openSUSE to UTC, if and only I boot Windows.
Just like you, time is set correctly in Windows and BIOS. I’ve tried almost every combination of settings in both the “Date &/and Time” windows.
I can get the date and time to stay un-changed in openSUSE if I set it in “Date and Time”, not “Date & Time” as seen in the kickoff menu. The “Date and Time” is the setting window from YaST.
But once I boot into Windows just once, the clock and date gets changed. Every openSUSE PC I’ve seen so far does this (x5). 4 of them 64-bit the other 32-bit. On HP, Dell, Lenovo, IBM.
I’m gonna look to see if a bug has been filed or not.
I can usually tell during boot (if splash is turned off) if the time in openSUSE has been changed because of the fsck step.
It usually reports that there is a time difference and outputs a whole bunch of +seconds like or even sometimes a negative but says something about the time being in the ‘future’.

Mine too, but I think I did that after the summer time hour change, so I do not know how
Windows handles that part. I’ll see soon enough.

Yes, it has, and the solution is published. Or solutions. It is in the thread I pointed you to,
or in the blog from jdmcdaniel3. Namely, change W7 to use UTC for the cmos (preferable), or
edit the adjtime file in Linux.
