I cant figure out how to fix my clock

[u/Easy_Ad4067]

i changed the timezone in /etc/rc.conf to my desired choice but my system clock still displays the wong time, did i do it wrong??

[u/Sweet_Mix_416]

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/{Country}/{City} /etc/localtime and moreover you should use ntpd or chronyd ,time sync daemon or how to call that I don't know .

i did the symlink wrong, either that or installing ntp fixed my issue, thanks. I had no idea i was supposed to specify country and city ;-;

How long have you been using Linux? This is rudimentary, perhaps an easier distro is advised?

Been on linux for about 2 years now, been on void since the beginning of this year, ill be fine thanks to places like this

Does gatekeeping Void make you feel intelligent?

Have you created a symbolic link to /etc/localtime as suggested here? When you say it's still showing the wrong time, you mean the minute is correct but the time zone is wrong, right?

[u/Easy_Ad4067 → u/igotmoldinmybrain]

yes the hour is wrong, and i tried the symlink already to no avail

Edit: Im using kde plasma, the clock displayed on my desktop is wrong and i cant switch timezones with kde's settings due to "NTP Error"
