Time zone for Gnome Top Bar Ubuntu 18.10












1















Ubuntu 18.10



My Gnome Top Bar is displaying UTC time. I want local time.



Ubuntu Time and Date Settings are correct and show Timezone: America/Chicago



$ date shows the local time



I installed "Gnome Clock override" and can manipulate the format but not the timezone which should be -0600.

          To change the hardware clock time standard to localtime, use do:



          timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock


          and



          sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata


          If you want to revert to the hardware clock being in UTC, do:



          timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 --adjust-system-clock


          Check what you have set by:



          timedatectl
