Does your /etc/sysconfig/clock file show the correct time zone?
What is the output of: sudo hwclock --show

[johnhagen]

thats the strange part.everything i change time zone and set the clock but when i restart computer i notice time zone is same but time is 1 hour back.

Try telling the computer a lie. Tell it you are in the time zone that makes your time come out right.

Hi, johnhagen

Do you dual boot with windows?

And is your local time 1 hour away from UTC?

"In casual use, when fractions of a second are not important, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)"

Sounds like a bug to me. You might want to file a report and hopefully someone will fix it.
