Try running:

timedatectl set-ntp on

If that fails, I assume you're on a debian system, in which case you probably need to install timesyncd:

apt install systemd-timesyncd

then try running the above command again.


...additionally it says EDT; are you on the east cost? If you're in Phoenix, you should also run:

timedatectl set-timezone America/Phoenix
