6.2 Changing the Country and Time Settings

Using the YaST date and time module, adjust your system date, clock and time zone information to the area you are working in. First, select a general region, such as Europe for example. Choose an appropriate time zone that matches the one you are working in, e.g. Germany.

Depending on which operating systems run on your workstation, adjust the hardware clock settings, accordingly:

  • If you run another operating system on your machine, such as Microsoft Windows*, it is likely your system uses Local Time.

  • If you only run Linux on your machine, set the hardware clock to UTC and have the switch form standard time to daylight saving time performed automatically.

You can change the date and time manually or opt for synchronizing your machine against an available NTP server.
