Gsimplecal time set

Technical Issues & Assistance Applications
#1

I have the tint 2 panel with gsimplecal for clock and calendar. The clock is running about 2 minutes behind UTC. I cannot find instructions to reset it.

#2

You may have to use timeddatectl, check the Arch Wiki.

May need to sync your system time to a time server. Check ntp or chrony.

Thanks for the tips. I found this solution on Stack Exchange and it worked - gsimplecal is now showing UTC. I ran these two commands:

timedatectl set-ntp true

then:

systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd

which resulted in this:

[drew@archlabs-drew ~]$ timedatectl
