System time clock

From an Ubuntu forum:

To keep Linux from using UTC, right click on the clock > preferences > uncheck the UTC box. Or, if you don't have a clock you can edit /etc/default/rcS and change the line UTC=yes to UTC=no. If you need to change the time zone you can run sudo tzselect.

To log in as root and change the UTC settings, use the command:
gksu gedit /etc/default/rcS

Don't know if this will help or not.

thanks i will try that the time went back a hour when i went into kubntu and back again to windows just now its a bit annoying to keep changing the time but i noticed the date stayed the same thats what messes things up if the date is wrong.

this is the command i used in terminal in kubuntu (using Kate the text editor is default in kubuntu)

sudo kate /etc/default/rcS

change the line UTC=yes to UTC=no (in the text editor and click save)


so far so good it seems to have worked i have booted in and out of both kubuntu and windows 4 times and the clock has been the right time on each:)

how to stop the time settings changing in duel booting with linux and windows using terminal in kubuntu by changing UTC default settings.

this is the command i used in terminal in kubuntu (using Kate the text editor is default in kubuntu)
