Changing the Timezone
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 8:54 pmMy timezone was - Timezone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)
I'm in the uk so it borked everything to do with times (like recording, epg etc...) therefore:
Check using:
timedatectl
Find your timezone... there are multiple ways to do this the long and painfully slow way is:
timedatectl list-timezones
Of course if you know roughly where you are you can use:
timedatectl list-timezones | grep Europe
I'm in europe and want London time so in this list you would see:
Europe/London
If you already know or now know the timezone change it with:
timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London
Next create a symlink to the right timezone where 'Europe/London' is yours:
ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
Since I'm lazy I then did the following:
yum install ntp
chkconfig ntpd on
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
service ntpd start
I actually use an internal NTP server so I didn't use pool.ntp.org but it should be ok.
Btw with this now in x86 this .... is so much easier! feel free to add corrections.
