Re: Arch show time 2 hours less than real time is

When you posed this, it was 13:40 PDT (GMT-7)
That means the UTC was 20:40.
Your hardware clock set to 22:41.  I would say it is set incorrectly.  It is to a timezone two hours ahead of where you are -- and it is also a couple minutes fast tongue

You should use code blocks when you have output like that.  It makes things much easier to read.  For information on how to use code blocks, you can follow the "BBCode" link on the bottom of the "Quick post" box, or you can simply hit the "Quote" button in the bottom right corner of this message to see how I made the boxes below.

I am now in Prague, time here is: 00:04.

The output of:
sudo hwclock --debug && timedatectl status

is:

Prague is UTC + 1

Set your hwclock (in the bios) to the UTC time zone you're in and that should put things right, I think.

Re: Arch show time 2 hours less than real time is

Some advice from Poland.
I see that you have ntpd enabled. You can use it manually with the "-g" flag to adjust the big time difference.
See

man ntpd

Also, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ware_clock
and see UTC's

# hwclock --systohc --utc

and localtime's

# hwclock --systohc --localtime

This may give you some idea.
I dual-boot and I decided to set the localtime, not UTC.

Finally, time is/can be configured in your gnome/cinnamon/kde settings (Preferences->Calendar). Perhaps there's something misconfigured there.
