Fix Time Problem with OpenSuse 12.2

Prior to 1972, this time was called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). In openSUSE, UTC time will be selected by default if Windows is not detected. Normally, a Linux only, not a dual boot installation, should use UTC time. However, if you really do dual boot between openSUSE and Windows, then using UTC time will not work properly as Windows does not seem to handle this setting. This can cause a fight for your digital clock on each swap between the two Operating Systems.

Simple way to fix this issue.
Open terminal
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) For a UTC Setting Do this (recommended for users that don't dual boot with Windows):

Code:

su - 

echo -e "0.0 0 0.0\n0\nUTC" > /etc/adjtime

2) For a LOCAL Setting Do this (recommended for users that DO dual boot with Windows):

Code:

su - 

echo -e "0.0 0 0.0\n0\nLOCAL" > /etc/adjtime

You most likely need to restart openSUSE for a manual edit of this file to work properly. It is OK to use Local time no matter your reason if you wish to. Since this seems to be an issue with the DVD installation disk, it will likely remain that way for the entire life of openSUSE 12.2.
