system clock is ahead of 2 hours

[roelof]

Hello,

When installing I choose as time-zone Europe/Amsterdam.
But when I look at the systemtime in for example KDE then the time is 2 hours ahead.

Anyone a idea how to solve this?

Does the time in KDE differ from the time in the console (date)?

 

[roelof]

Yes, when I do # date I see this output.

Fri Jun 15 20:00:57 CEST 2012

Where here it's now 18:00:57

Is CEST your correct timezone?

 

[roelof]

I don't think so. Normally I set the timezone to Europe/Amsterdam.

Ah. Then all you need to do is set the correct timezone. You can do so either via the KDE System Settings, or from a shell using tzsetup(8).

I did the steps and now in the KDE systems settings is stated.

Current local time zone :Europe/Amsterdam (CEST)

So it seems that CEST is the correct Timezone for me.
After a few minutes the time is correct now.
Thanks for the help.
