| Time Zone change was also rejected on Live System. |

Try using "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" as root from the command line instead.
ETA: Or log in as root using "sux" and run "kcmshell4 clock". |

You can also change UTC in /etc/default/rcS. After you configured your timezone + utc setting run
fix-time
in a console and it will get the time from the internet. |

thanks guys, i know about those options, but that's not my point in here
what i mean is [in general] that people use KDE because they dont wanna use command line
and it's not about time only, i can't also edit KDM and so.
eg. Date settings say that I will be asked to authentificate, but i am not, instead i got error i wrote upper
solution should not be to use command line, but fix the trouble with authentification ;]
maybe it's KDE problem, i dont know |

| I would definitely avoid to use kde settings for time/date settings. Basically it only needs to write /etc/timezone, but it will not appear in the debconf database that way without dpkg-reconfigure. |

Live System
eco2geek hat folgendes geschrieben::
Try using "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" as root from the command line
OR
Zitat:
System Settings>Time Zone
Select zone; Apply
System Settings>Time
Confirm change
Close window
Discard changes to Module
Cmd line $date verification
Unfortunately Digital Display on bottom right still shows UTC
So, in 'K' menu: Search 'xclock' & Run it  |

| That does not change utc (bios time) to localtime. You need to change the /etc/default/rcS. Basically it is better to use utc with every os, for Win there are reg hacks, if you use os x on the same pc then you definitely have to store the time as utc. When you dont store the time as utc then the time is always changed as soon as you boot win (twice a year). |

| @conta: some settings in KDE's systemsettings can be changed by root users only, like KDM settings - if you want to change them use
Code:
kdesu systemsettings
in KDE 4.4.5 the button to become root from the GUI is not implemented (i think it is in 4.5+, iirc)

Doesn't work:
Code:
kanotix@Kanotix:~$ kdesu systemsettings
bash: kdesu: command not found
root@Kanotix:/home/kanotix# kdesu systemsettings
bash: kdesu: command not found

I'm not too worried about bios time, it can stay as it is. I just wish to change the time shown on the display at the bottom bar, so as not to lose track of time by being misled by the display and losing 2 hours  |

Because none of them seem to be having any effect in changing the time display on the bottom tool bar panel.
Anyway the best workaround I've found so far is to use 'tzselect' to obtain the appropriate tz value for kernel parameter 'timezone' as a one-off grub edit in conjunction with 'persistent'. thus:
Code:
kernel /hx/vmlinuz fromiso=/dev/sda5/hx/kanotix-2.6.38rc6.iso boot=live config utc=yes locales=us quiet gfx=on persistent [timezone=America/Los_Angeles]

| Better use utc=no in your example. The command i told you are for a real hd install and NOT for persistent mode which is configured by the extra options you can use. |
