That should be what you selected in the Quick setup time zone setting.

But if you like command line setting.

In a terminal (console)

Code: Select all

tzselect --help

# tzselect --help
Usage: tzselect [--version] [--help] [-c COORD] [-n LIMIT]
Select a time zone interactively.

Options:

-c COORD
Instead of asking for continent and then country and then city,
ask for selection from time zones whose largest cities
are closest to the location with geographical coordinates COORD.
COORD should use ISO 6709 notation, for example, '-c +4852+00220'
for Paris (in degrees and minutes, North and East), or
'-c -35-058' for Buenos Aires (in degrees, South and West).

-n LIMIT
Display at most LIMIT locations when -c is used (default 10).

--version
Output version information.

--help
Output this help.

# tzselect
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
Please select a continent, ocean, "coord", or "TZ".
1) Africa
2) Americas
3) Antarctica
4) Asia
5) Atlantic Ocean
6) Australia
7) Europe
8) Indian Ocean
9) Pacific Ocean
10) coord - I want to use geographical coordinates.
11) TZ - I want to specify the time zone using the Posix TZ format.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
