[SOLVED] Disrupt local clock in every login - Archlinux + Xfce4

My system clock has been displayed incorrectly for several days. when i run timedatectl status output is something like this :

➜ timedatectl status

 Local time: Sat 2021-12-25 19:16:57 +0330
           Universal time: Sat 2021-12-25 15:46:57 UTC
                 RTC time: Sat 2021-12-25 15:46:57
                Time zone: Asia/Tehran (+0330, +0330)
System clock synchronized: no
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

Universal time and RTC time is correct but Local time is incorrect !

local time will fix after run sudo ntpd -qg .

But when i restart system Everything goes back and goes wrong ...

How can i solve this problem ?

i use arch+xfce4

If that universal time is correct, you appear to be sending messages from the future. You probably mean that the time shown after Universal/RTC time is actually your local time. That should be simple to fix: as you said, running ntpd corrects the local time, but it should also change "Universal time:" but not "RTC time:". To write the corrected UTC time to the hardware clock (RTC), use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … stem_clock

Adding 3:30 to Sat 2021-12-25 15:46:57 UTC does result in Sat 2021-12-25 19:16:57 , so the 3 times are consistent.

NTP service: active usually means you're running systemd-timesyncd[1] not ntp .

Is the timezone Asia/Theran correct for your location ?
Please post the output of

$ timedatectl timesync-status

this is output :

➜ timedatectl timesync-status
       Server: n/a (ur.ntp.srv)
Poll interval: 0 (min: 32s; max 34min 8s)
 Packet count: 0

And my location is Asia/Tehran

yes i was wrong ! actually in first universal time = my local time and after run sudo ntpd -qg
it will fix like this :

Don't do that. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

It's Christmas day -- maybe people have other things to do? Everyone here is a volunteer; you need to learn some patience.

Did you read the link you were given in post 2? Do you understand the difference between UTC and localtime (also covered on that same page)? At this point, you shouldn't need any more help. everything has been covered.

Re: [SOLVED] Disrupt local clock in every login - Archlinux + Xfce4

From your last post, the UTC time is correct (after the ntp adjustment).  But you can see it has not been set to the RTC yet as the UTC != RTC.  So follow the advice you have been given to complete the fix:

That should be simple to fix: as you said, running ntpd corrects the local time, but it should also change "Universal time:" but not "RTC time:". To write the corrected UTC time to the hardware clock (RTC), use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … stem_clock

Forgive me for not being careful this link fixed my problem.
i just run this command in terminal to set the hardware clock from the system clock and Fixed :

# hwclock --systohc

and you have to make sure run this command before  :

timedatectl set-ntp true
