online time sync is wrong in the installer

[nazar2sfive]

when i choose automatic date and time the time syncs to incorrect time. infact shows 2 PM or something.

I set the time back to 9:13 PM by unchecking the automatic date and time option and setting it manually.

wow i posted above just 20 min back and it shows 6 hours ago ... haha

normally time sync comes from the network router (e.g. wifi router or similar)

@fenrus75 everyother device is fine. android, windows 10, tablets all working same with time sync. why only in clear linux?

[thiagomacieira]

"UTC (Kathmandu, Nepal)" doesn't look right. Kathmandu is not UTC, it's UTC+05:45.

Could you please paste the output of timedatectl (executed in a terminal)?

[nazar2sfive]

i have set the time to manual

[thiagomacieira]

Thank you, looks like the timezone setting is correct. The UI is having problems reporting it though. You didn't include the application name in your first screenshot, which one was it?

PS: when getting data from a terminal, please copy & paste if you can, instead of screenshotting text.

[nazar2sfive]

@thiagomacieira i did that deliberately to compare the UI showing my time and to terminal.

[thiagomacieira]

Dual-boot is not it. That would simply be that your hardware clock is set to the wrong timezone.

The issue in your case is that the graphical tool thinks your timezone is the same as UTC, not 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of it.

[nazar2sfive]

@thiagomacieira but i did everything from that link .. and i am not having the problem yet. waiting for few more days if the problems will be back again. but i think that has done for me.

[processor286]

Same for me. I see the following in timedatectl (these values are correct)

$ timedatectl
               Local time: Tue 2019-09-17 13:23:58 BST
           Universal time: Tue 2019-09-17 12:23:58 UTC
                 RTC time: Tue 2019-09-17 12:23:58
                Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

But, the GNOME top bar, and the settings application are incorrect:

and:

It seems like there's a disconnect somewhere. It's also impossible to change the time zone using the world map picker, and make it stick. It just never saves.

[thiagomacieira]

Ok, looks like the GNOME UI is failing to parse timezones. I initially thought that it was the quarter hour offset somehow throwing it off, but if it's having problems with Europe/London, it's probably having problems with ALL timezones.

clock skew??

[romulasry]

Same issue as of current date. Date on router is fine.

[romulasry]

Seems fixed for me now.

[stokhos]

I'm having this problem too. Is there a fix?

[phmccarty]

@stokhos Can you elaborate on the specific issue you are having related to online time sync? Steps to reproduce would be helpful. Or if it's not 100% reproducible, that's also helpful to know.

Multiple bugs have been mentioned in this thread, so I wanted to ask for clarification.

I'm not sure how to replicate this.

I have gnome running. The time in gnome is not correct.

$ timedatectl

Returns the correct time.

Why problem is exactly same as the one harpingon had

[phmccarty]

Thanks. It looks like your issue might be a duplicate of #2168, which should be resolved early next week.
