my system clock(date) is not keeping motherboad clock(hwclock)
hey guys,
i read a couple threads/forums on linux time setting and syncronizing methods, i did them last night and rebooted, at first both my date, and hwclock were working at the right time, and now i am seeing that system clock (date) is one whole hour behind, can someone help me please?
ohh when i say (date) i mean what i see when i type in "date" in terminal.

write network-config-date on CLI and set the date or use date command with the following syntax
date ddmmHHminyear:seconds and then check.

if on the command line interface you will write
network-config-date
it will pop up with a GUI where u can actually put the date and see on the tabs if there is any setting problem.

He means "type", when he says "write". It's to run the "network-config-date" command.
