Title: [SOLVED] Timezone problems
Post by: ali on August 31, 2011, 11:56:23 PM

i can't get the timezone right
first i tried the tz bootcode, setting it to GMT+2
that didn't work

Code: [Select]

ali@mini:~$ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
 1 Sep 01:48:57 ntpdate[7234]: step time server 83.166.201.100 offset -10797.441861 sec
ali@mini:~$ echo $TZ
GMT+2
ali@mini:~$ date #should be 06:49
Thu Sep  1 01:49:28 GMT 2011

then i set my tz to eet

Code: [Select]

ali@mini:~$ echo $TZ
EET
ali@mini:~$ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
 1 Sep 03:52:18 ntpdate[7303]: adjust time server 89.18.20.11 offset 0.470471 sec
ali@mini:~$ date #should be 06:52
Thu Sep  1 03:52:33 EET 2011

and it still doesn't work
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
