Hello all, my first post here.
After installing EOS alongside my windows and every time i boot to EOS first, then windows 10, windows 10 clock is always 2 hours behind my GMT time (Helsinki, Finland). So i have to go to windows clock settings and switch off “set the time automatically” and switch back it to ON to get the proper time.
Any idea what might cause this odd behavior?
Anyways, i REALLY like EOS so far. Boot time is like 2 sec, while 12 sec to windows 10.
And im using JBL Quantum Duo speakers via USB connection and EOS detected them properly. For some reason (or is it just me), MP3/FLAC sounds a lot better, clearer with EOS than Windows(used foobar, resonic, aimp). Maybe JBL drivers for Windows are not so good?
Making Windows use UTC time like Linux is probably not the best option. You can edit the registry to make Windows use UTC time, but this could potentially cause more problems than just making Linux use local time.
To dual boot with Windows it is recommended to configure Windows to use UTC, rather than Linux to use localtime. (Windows by default uses localtime [1].)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: yes
ntp service needs to running
timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
In windows i make sure is set to correct time and date and time zone etc.
Then set in linux with above command. I’m not sure how it works in other time zones. Or setting Windows with UTC. I have never done that? For me this is how it works properly otherwise when you boot into windows the time is out by 4 hours.
Hi, is this a some sort of a bug:
When i try to set GMT time, in drop down menu i gaves me an options;
GMT
GMT+0
GMT-0
GMT0
If i try to manually type GMT+2 it does not accept it.
What is the difference between GMT+0, GMT-0 and GMT0?
Where I live is GMT -3, Linux uses GMT time, Windows uses local time and my UEFI is using GMT time.
So, every time I boot to Windows, Windows clock gets 3 hours behind and I need to update it.
"An OS that uses the UTC standard will generally consider the hardware clock as UTC and make an adjustment to it to set the OS time at boot according to the time zone. " Quoted from Arch’s wiki.
With the arch’s wiki suggestion, Windows already boots with the correct time.
I guess I’m asking why it is recommended for Windows to use UTC rather than linux to use local time. Only because all different users have different time zones?
Edit: I guess I don’t understand and as usual Arch wiki don’t explain!
I just followed the wiki, didn’t even thought about this at that time…
Thinking about it now, I suppose that Windows handles better this kind of change…
Taking this out of my head, just an assumption… Maybe some Linux services wouldn’t work, or get the wrong time from hardware clock, really don’t know
