[arch-general] Strange time sync problem.
Hi all, I have an arch machine with mate as the desktop. I am using orca all works well, but 1 problem that is driving me crazy is time zone syncrinization. If I get time with orca t, I here the time 4 hours ahead of my local time. For example, If I press orca t for time, it will tell me that it is 15:-01. It is speaking in 24 hour time rather than 12 hour. It is about 11 am eastering at time of writing this message. I am wondering if there is a way to fix this. I installed gnome control center and set it to sync timezone info and to use am-pm but the is not being used dispite the changed. How can I fix this? Thanks. I tried tz select, but not sure whare the file is to set globalble. hanks. Matthew

Hi, not regarding the header of your email ;). Did you already follow the advices provided by the Arch Wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/time I have no idea how GNOME handles time sync, however, another Arch Wiki mentions something related to KDE: "KDE KDE can use NTP (ntp must be installed) by right clicking the clock and selecting Adjust date/time. However, this requires the ntp daemon to be disabled before configuring KDE to use NTP." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Time_Protocol_daemon#Start_ntpd... IOW ensure that you check step by step, if anything already is responsible to automatically sync time and ensure that you chose your local correctly and if you should boot between different operating systems, e.g. your Arch Linux install and another Linux distro's live DVD, that there isn't an issue related to reading the RTC time in the local time zone vs UTC.
