Wrong time on XOA

akurzawa

Hi

I've got wrong time on the XOA, the host for VM has correct time. What could be the reason of that? what's the time source for xoa? I'm assuming the host, is so, why the time in xoa is defferent than on the host?

Hi,

XOA uses NTP to keep its clock synchronized, you can check its status by running ntpq -p.

Check this documentation.

ok my TimeZone in xoa is America/New_York - why? I'm in Warsaw's TZ, how to change that?

julien-f

NTP appears to be working and the time correct.

The time appears incorrect to you because the XOA is not set in the same timezone as you:

$ cat /etc/timezone
America/New_York

This should be completely transparent to you and not cause any issues, anyway, if you want to change it you can use this command:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tz-data

Thanks for reply; this command is not working - IDK if I really want to go and start installing missing packages in xoa... any other way to change time zone?

[08:44 14] xoa@xoa:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tz-data
[sudo] password for xoa:
dpkg-query: package 'tz-data' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

maybe do a feature request on github?
