Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

this is the piece I need

-rtc base=localtime

I didn't know (or notice) about setting timezone for QEMU.

However, more generally, whilst I think Sofiya's auto-timezone setting is very interesting, that method is a problem at present for those who prefer to avoid commandline and/or are uncomfortable with using it.

Thinking of @keniv and others I can only say that, personally, I always just use:

Start Menu -> Settings -> Timezone (wd_timezone)

As fredx181 said, that simple yad GUI isn't particularly intuitive. It does work though:

You click the down arrow, and then best to use PgDn (by which I mean actual Page Down, not just cursor down - on my laptop I need to press Function Key at same time as PgDn to actually get Page Down!).

And then you quick scroll to find your own timezone entry and select it and then press OKAY button.

Then if you hover your mouse over the taskbar displayed time you should notice it changes to your own timezone. All this assumes your BIOS clock is set up appropriately, but if you have correct time with other distros such as Puppy Linux then I expect it is.

I suddenly realize a need for a program similar to psync that is in Puppy Linux also should be in KLV and KLA + KLU to have a GUI control to sync the system clock on demand. In KLV we only deal with the sync occurring on system start, but no way to do it on demand with no need to reboot.

Should go into the Dev section with this one

Also, some of them will appear under the 'Other' category (I always use the Whisker menu) rather than under Internet.....
