I have checked the BIOS clock which is set to the regular time and I don't think that it is set to UTC. Also, the time-zone should read Europe/London. I have tried numerous ways of altering this, even killing off gdm so that I can login as root to fix it in Gnome. Then, reboot, and it's back to being 1 hour ahead again. What can I do to fix this, as it is a real PITA to keep having to fix it for her, and let's face it, it shouldn't be necessary to do so.Is the timezone set in her environment? What does /etc/localtime link to? Regards, -Roberto How do I find out what /etc/localtime links to? It is a binary file. There doesn't appear to be a config file, nor any man pages.
