Alternatively, you can also check the current system’s timezone by displaying the contents of the /etc/timezone
file.
cat /etc/timezone
Etc/UTC
timedatectl
CommandBefore changing the timezone, you’ll need to find out the long name for the timezone you want to use. The timezone naming convention usually uses a “Region/City” format.
To list all available time zones, you can either list the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo
directory or use the timedatectl
command.
timedatectl list-timezones
...
Europe/Oslo
Europe/Paris
Europe/Podgorica
Europe/Prague
Europe/Riga
Europe/Rome
Europe/Samara
...
Once you identify which time zone is accurate to your location, run the following command as sudo user:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone
For example, to change the system’s timezone to Europe/Rome
:
<pre><code>sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Rome</code></pre>
Run the timedatectl
command to verify the changes:
timedatectl
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
