Hi jj,
The time on my desktop is set to UTC. I'll like to read it EST. Is there something as simple as dpkg-reconfigure timezone ?
Even easier, you can right click on the clock in Gnome and select Adjust Date & Time :-)
I installed datetimeconf
It might be best to uninstall that, it could just be interfering with time-admin.
Also, time-admin consistently crashes.
I'm afraid I can't reproduce that in the 64 Studio testing branch, it works fine for me. It's got a very cool interactive world map for selecting time zones.
Cheers! Daniel
