Re: time

Strange,
as long as you have a working internet connection during the install process and chose your proper timezone in the installer, you should have correct time and date.

Anyways, if you need to set the date and time post-install;

for time (in 24hr format)

sudo date --set hh:mm:ss

Replace hh with hour, mm with minute and ss with seconds.


for date

sudo date --set yyyy-mm-dd

Replace yyyy with the year, mm with month and dd with day.


You can also do the above in a root terminal without sudo if you desire.
