  • analogue clock running behind

    From faeychild@2:250/1 to All on Sun Oct 3 00:28:38 2021


    Today we switched to daylight saving. One hour ahead

    I noticed that while the task bar digital clock has adjusted
    the analogue clock is now an hour behind.
    I assumed that they were synced and basically the same clock

    Curiously I find no way to adjust the analogue clock interdependently.
    Remove and reinstall doesn't re-sync it either

    I don't recall seeing this happen last time

    Not happening for me. I just added the analog clock in addition to the already present digital clock. I have the zone set to Canada/Eastern, and the hardware clock
    set to utc.

    Assuming kde plasma, check the files /etc/sysconfig/clock, and systemsettings5, Personalization, Regional Settings, on the Time zone tab.

    Brilliant, David! That was it.

    I had left the Numbers, Time, Currency, Measurement stuff all at default

    This morning it booted up with clocks in agreement

    I don't have an analog clock and I am not using KDE. KDE is inclined to sandwich itself between the CPU and the desktop environment.

    Timezone info is updated regularly. If you have the current update, and nothing in between that thinks it knows better, it should all work.I
    find often that the time shown before login is wrong, but on login,
    everything is O.K.

    OT: I run Xfce, and have for years. With all the hype about the latest GNOME, I might give it a spin.

    KDE's Plasma 5 is a Desktop Environment. While it may take up a bit more space on disk it is lighter than most of the other widely used
    Desktop Environments such as Gnome and XFCE.

    Timezone info is updated regularly.  If you have the current update, and nothing in between that thinks it knows better, it should all work.I

    Don't expect any happiness from that spin.
