[arch-general] Clock one hour ahead
Hi all, I'm finding that both my system and hardware clock are an hour ahead of what they should be (I checked this using the 'timedate' and 'hwclock' commands). Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, Kiran
Hello Kiran,
Please check whether your hardware clock and your OS are of the same
opinion with regards to DST (summer time). Linux tends to set the hw
clock to UTC, Windows tends to set it to the local time - and change
it twice a year back/forth as if there were no other OS.
Of course, YMMV and perhaps Windows has wised up - my newest
information is from Windows 7.
Best,
NTS

The installation guide on the Arch Linux web site describes a few steps to get the time and timezone right. ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime and hwclock --systohc Maybe this helps. ~HZ
