Set time to synchronize with an ntp server:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> timedatectl set-ntp true
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This info stays in /usr/share/zoneinfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Local Time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Local time is kept in /etc/localtime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
According to Dave's LPIC guide, you can set the local time by making asymboling link from your timezone to /etc/localtime, as so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Belgrade /etc/localtime
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...however this produced the wrong time for me. Further, /etc/localtime produces an output with cat, while the zoneinfo files do not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Locale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See local time, language and character settings with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> locale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
List available locales with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> locale -a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see additional locales which are available (but not necessarily installed):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set a supported locale with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> locale-gen pl_PL.UTF-8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then set that language, with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... then reboot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Network Time Protocol
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enter the shell with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> ntpq
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or just glimpse and overview with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> ntpq -q
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This clock can drift, which is then listed under /var/log/ntp.drift
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The config is under /etc/ntp.conf. If a line for the stats directory is listed, it'll log stats, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can show if clock drift occurs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The config file also lets you specify servers to obtain time from.
