Set up the clock to be synchronized with an internet time server if you prefer. Most modern distributions come pre-installed with the Network Time Protocp (NTP) protocol. If your Linux distro doesn’t have it then install this NTP server package. Use the following commands to install depending on your Linux distribution:

  • Ubuntu/Mint/Debian : sudo apt install ntpdate
  • CentOS : sudo yum install ntpdate
    sudo /sbin/chkconfig ntpd on
  • Fedora/RedHat : sudo yum install ntpdate
    sudo chkconfig ntpd on
  • Enter ntpdate server link && hwclock –w after the installation command, remember to replace the server link with the link to the website.

    • Advice

    • On RedHat Linux, Slackware, Gentoo, SuSE, Debian, Ubuntu and some other “regular” versions, the command to display and change the time is “date” not “clock”.
    • On mobile phones and small devices running the Linux operating system, time zones are stored differently.

    Warning

    • Some applications (like PHP) have their own time zone settings that are different from the system time zone.
    • On some systems there is a utility to set the correct time zone and change it to suit the system configuration. For example, on Debian there is a “tzsetup” or “tzconfig” utility.

    This wikiHow teaches you how to change the time zone on a Linux computer.
