First, make sure that the system time zone is correct by making sure |
| 15 |
that /etc/localtime is a symlink to your current timezone (in |
| 16 |
/usr/share/zoneinfo). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If the only operating system you boot on the machine is Linux (or, |
| 19 |
generally, if you *don't* use Windows): |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1) Set your BIOS clock to the current time *in UTC*. |
| 22 |
2) Ensure that the last line of /etc/adjtime reads "UTC" (instead of |
| 23 |
"LOCAL") |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If you *do* dual-boot to Windows (and don't want to use the |
| 26 |
unsupported methods to make Windows aware that the BIOS time is UTC): |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
1) Set your BIOS clock to the current *local* time |
| 29 |
2) Ensure that the last line of /etc/adjtime reads "LOCAL" (instead of |
| 30 |
"UTC"). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If you dual-boot Windows 7 or earlier and want to use that unsupported |
| 33 |
method mentioned above: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
1) Set your BIOS clock to the current time *in UTC*. |
| 36 |
2) Ensure that the last line of /etc/adjtime reads "UTC" (instead of |
| 37 |
"LOCAL") |
| 38 |
3) In Windows, in the registry key |
| 39 |
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" |
| 40 |
set the value "RealTimeIsUniversal" (a DWORD if you have to create it) |
| 41 |
to "1". |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If you use Windows 8, in addition to the above, you have to disable |
| 44 |
Windows from ever writing the time to the BIOS clock, otherwise on |
| 45 |
shutdown it will reset the BIOS time to local time. |
