Time settings problem

[Tom Varghese]

Hello,
I am using fedora 12. In my system there's dual boot and time showing in windows XP and time in fedora GMT is same and correct. But I selected my location. But the time is different for my location. And actual time is showing as GMT. If I change the time, to correct it, the time in other OS will also be changed. Help needed.
I want to rest the GMT an location time.

Is the time in your bios correct? This can sometimes be the issue.

Is the time in your bios correct? This can sometimes be the issue.

I think it is. Because, correct time shows on all OS including windows. In fedora 12, correct time is showing. But my location time is GMT+5.30hr. Now time here is (at time of writing) 12:52 PM in my location. But my system displays as 12:52 is the GMT time and my location time is 12:52+5.30
I think you understand my question. Don't mess up with time. Just tell me how to rest GMT time (not location time) in terminal.

Disable UTC in Date and Time settings.

[Tom Varghese]

I'm sorry. I don't know how to set UTC.

[devils casper]

Set UTC value to false in /etc/sysconfig/clock file.

UTC=false

Reset Time to correct local time after editing /etc/sysconfig/clock file.

In case it doesn't work, execute this

hwclock --localtime

[Tom Varghese]

I opened the file clock using gedit.It looks like this:

# The time zone of the system is defined by the contents of /etc/localtime.
# This file is only for evaluation by system-config-date, do not rely on its
# contents elsewhere.
ZONE="GMT"

/etc/localtime is aa binary file. cat localtime results:

TZif2


GMTTZif2


GMT
GMT0

Please provide the next step.

For some of our production RHEL systems we have to set "TZ=GMT0BST" in /etc/profile and /etc/environment to make this go away for certain uses. (Just add the line to the bottom of the file)

Not sure if this is relevant here.
