Manual Time-Change Not Staying Permanent [SOLVED]

[MusicLover]

I've tried to adjust the time via the task bar (right-clicking etc) and via the settings page. When I restart the machine, the time goes one hour back.

Is there a command line way I can 'force' the time change?

Not sure of the command line method, but did you log on as root and go to start menu >settings>system settings>date and time ?
( assuming KDE ) ?

The only logon I've got is the same one I used since installing Pardus so I'm sure I'm root.

Hi,
When I've had problems with incorrect time is when I install another linux distro and suddenly my other distro's clock will show back or forward 4 hours.  I then have to reset my BIOS clock and all is well. 

You are doing it correctly, if it asks for your admin password when you hit 'apply' in the time/date GUI and then ok.  Wait one minute and the correct time will show in your toolbar clock.  I just tried mine out.  If I set the clock ahead an hour, it will also set my BIOS clock ahead an hour.  If I reset my BIOS clock to back to correct hour, it automatically resets Pardus os clock correctly.

Here are some command lines. but it has been a while since I've used them as I remember having problems understanding the difference between hardware clock and system time:

Code:

hwclock --help

or

Code:

date --help

there's also man pages for both, more detail information.

The following will show current date and time, as well as timezone:

Code:

sudo hwclock -r

Code:

date

Code:

timezone

Maybe the solution is in this Wiki > Automatic synchronization of date and time after every reboot

That seemed to do the trick!

Thanks.
