Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    What does realpath /etc/localtime say?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    'realpath /etc/localtime' says "/etc/localtime"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Weird and what's in it?

    Open with a text editor or execute cat /etc/localtime

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    i tried using the wiki to fix it and now it has the correct timezone. realpath answers "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo"

    though the xfce time still shows that the pc time is 16 minutes late. date command does the same. (exemple: phone shows 15:16, which is the actual time, while pc shows 15:00)

    though i dont live in sao paulo, it is just a little north of here and should be in the same timezone. also, when i installed the OS with that timezone, it showed the correct time.

    This sounds like your clock may be out of sync?

    Have a look at timesyncd https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-timesyncd#Usage

    thank you so much, i never even thought it couldve been a time sync problem, for some reason.

    My pc time is now correct, and i cant thank you enough :]
