easy question: screen clock and taskbar clock out of sync

[fleamailman]

OK, edgy elf, I am on Zurich time, my screen saver is always two hours behind my taskbar, how do I get them sync'ed, thanks,

Oh, and apart from the above one minor problem my system is a joy to use, everything just perfect.

Speaking of the taskbar clock, I remember in Dapper or Edgy it actually showed hh:mm:ss, as the default display. Since I migrated to Feisty, I've never been able to get the seconds to display -- the formatting utility seems to ignore them. Anyone have a theory of whether this is a "bug" or a new "feature"?

It's an intelligence test: you have to "apply" for the (re-)configuration several times to get it approved

uh -- huh .... I'm failing the test here (again ...)


I guess we solved the mystery regarding my intelligence.

Geez, you can change it to "Hebrew" and it STILL doesn't affect the taskbar display -- I think that "Time and Date Format" utility is only to give an impression of a future capability ...... :P

You need to use the tzconfig command to set the time zone in /etc/timezone. Now date, Kontact and KDE all show the correct time.

well that is clear enough, um what exactly do I do before I am back saying that I got it wrong,

Re: easy question: screen clock and taskbar clock out of sync

OK, since you didn't reply in five minutes, I figured it out by


- click: k menu
- click: teminal
- click: shell
- write: sudo su
- write: password
- write tzconfig
- press key button: Y
- and then choose area by the number given,
- press enter
- spell the name of the nearest city: zurich


done, and the computer lived happily ever...
