Kennoth, I am on a mac using easteron. I am the us ohio. NewYork would be the closest time zone . I think it is a matter of changing it to use america/new_York if that makes sence.

Hi all,
I just installed arch into a vertual machine dfor now as I do not have a bare boons system to install to at the moment. Any way I have a problem whare my system thinks I am in lundon uk and not in the us. I have tried running NTPD-QG but I am told that the command not found. I want the clock to show the correct local time and not have it showing 4 hours ahead of it self. Any ideas on how to fix this. I want to show it in .profile, but it just creates a new file instead of using the exhisting file. How can I change my time to the corect local time? Thanks.
Matthew
Hi Matthew, Did you set the timezone correctly? If so, is your virtual machine using your machine's time as UTC? If it is, then make sure that you set your timezone as UTC.
There are named timezones in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/US directory; try ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime then check the date. If this does not work, try replacing US/Eastern with UTC.
