Glad it worked!

I lived in Florida for ~10 years myself, in the Ft. Walton Beach/Navarre/Pensacola areas, and got my degree there at UWF. Sometimes I wish I were still there but I'm enjoying the non-humidity of Arizona for now.

Thanks, it worked. As for the time zone: Yep, I'm on the East coast. I was introduced to Linux in 97ish when I lived in Phoenix. When I moved to Florida I just kinda hung on to PLUG.

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

The time is now about 10am here. I ran timedatectl and it says:
                 RTC time: Sun 2050-06-19 00:04:01
but my clock says the correct date but that it is about 21:00.
Why won't the time sync?
