Hello, I have a peculiar problem with my system date. I'm using debian "testing" with KDE 3.5. When i set the date, either through the KDE control center, or through the backend using the "date" command (as root ofcourse), it gets reset everytime i reboot my m/c. Btw, i have a hp (Compaq nc6400) lappy. Actually, the problem seems to be with the locale. In control center, if i set the time, with the locale, after a reboot, the same time is shown as UTC. Whereas, if i set the UTC time through the "date command" (i don't know how to pass locale to date command, so i'm assuming that it sets the UTC time), then after reboot, the UTC time itself moves 5.5 hrs ahead :(
Thanks a lot in advance. regards, Pradnyesh.

Eh???. No rtc?. Ok set up the clock thru the bios. But that still wont solve the problem. Google is your best bet.

Date and Time in KDE can be set by right clicking the date in system tray. Select Calcutta as your time zone.

That is exactly what i had tried. However, after a reboot, the date that i had set is shown as UTC date (so that my calcutta date is 5.5hrs ahead of what it should be).

Try the 'Date and Time Format' and in the Locale Tab, select India. then go to 'Adjust Date and Time' and do the remaining settings. Logout and login again to cross check. Then restart.

No use. Still the same problem. Btw, the locale was already set to India (probably i had set it earlier).
