What exactly is wrong with the clock?

Have you set your locale properly?

You can set it up with this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Messed up meaning the time zone? You can change/ edit with the tzzelect command. if you messed up the formating, you can change it with the tint2 configuration script. Right click > Preferences > Tint2 > Edit TInt2's

Actually, you have to use:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

As per tzselect(1)

Hey, you raised my eyebrows with `tzselect` -- I had to look up the man page to spot your mistake

Pro tip: always check the man page 8)

Don't be disheartened -- that was a great effort and your skills are improving all the time

Jeez tzselect is useless then!

BTW not to get too off topic, but the systemd command timedatectl also looks like it can provide some functionality to this. For future reference.

timedatectl

this 'man page' you speak of, where can i get said 'man page'

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-07-09 17:01:43

Run this command and carefully read the output (all of it!):

man man

EDIT: Or use the web interface for the Debian man pages:
https://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi

EDIT2:

man -Hfirefox man
