At a time when the clock on the wall said 1642, both the digital

nothing).. I tried setting to other cities: Juneau read 0404, and I
don't know if that is right or not, but setting Digital Clock to
Juneau also makes it read 0404 (a little later now actually). Setting
Date & Time to Stockholm makes it read 1413 right now, although if I
remember correctly, you are at GMT+1, so your correct time is 1613.

Something is screwed up.

What is the time in your BIOS? Is it GMT?

Do you boot any other OS? If so, and the other one comes from Redmond
WA USA, then you need to set the bios clock to the local time. The GMT
thing only works with Linux. Windows sets the bios clock to the local
time - and leaves it that way. What is the time in your BIOS? Is it
GMT? I do not think there is much you can do. The main thing you loose
is that when the bios clock is not set to GMT, then Linux will not do
daylight savings changes automatically. Or, at least it was that way
not so very long ago.

The date command shows the BIOS time, no? In v10.3 (which is installed in
another drive on the same system) date shows the correct local time. In
v11.1, it shows two hours back, i.e. GMT.

I do not run Windows. I never have.
