Time Changes a Few Minutes After Boot, to an Hour Slow [SOLVED]

The hardware clock is put back an hour but not if I disconnect from the modem/internet.

The GUI which comes with Cinnamon is not set to get the time from the network.

The location is shown as correct.

It still happens when all other computers are not connected.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

My guess is that the system does not observe daylight saving time. It would perfectly explain why the clock is put back an hour. Check if there is not an option in the GUI to enable DST.

ntpd.service                                enabled

Please use code tags for commands and their output.

Solved!

Thanks for everyone's help.

In replying I now understand what you mean by code tag.

Will do.

There is not an option in the GUI to enable DST? What was then the solution?

@mali2297 see https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-s … ism.c#L646 cinnamon-settings-daemon datetime plugin's ntpd detection does not support arch.
The intended operation is it will not allow the time to be set manually when any ntp daemon is running.
