[MOVED] change time zone

please tell me how to change the time zone? i checked system settings which looks like the control panel equivalent, and date and time do not appear there, nor does a search for "date" or "time" produce any result there or in the main search menu on the zorin menu.
please advise where it is hidden and if you have a pdf file or other place where i can search random stuff like this - thanks!

Hi

When opening the "time" from AWN info panel, so there should be the "Time and Date settings"
Then just opening it click there your location to set the correct time zone and from the "clock" select 24 or 12 hours time display and weekday if wanted to be shown.



If it does not work this way and it goes to "system settings" then there is a bug that has come with an update to the system. There is not the "Time and Date" setting any more and it uses those settings that has been given when installing the system. May be there is some workaround for this but I am not aware of that. This screenshot has been taken from the Zorin 9 Core RC and there it seems to work but not in my updated Zorin Core 8.

Open a terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal) and enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools

this will install gnome-time-admin - amongst other things.

After install, leave terminal open and enter:

Code:

time-admin

You may need to 'unlock' to alter (your login password required)

thanks guys - tried both, neither worked.
no time settings on the system menu - even though i installed another machine the later same day and it DOES have time settings - weird that the install would not trap that.
ran sudo twice - the second time it said already done, and time-admin still not installed. any other ideas? thanks!

now this is getting weird - i downloaded a time and date program and was able to change the time in it but the clock on the taskbar was unaffected! how can this be?? weird! thanks

OK, the way I did it initially was:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-time-admin

It came back with

Code:

Do you want to install gnome-system-tools?

I said 'y'

then from terminal after all installed:

Code:

time-admin

try

Code:

sudo time-admin

Also, make sure your Update Settings are pointing to 'Main Server'
