The Local time and RTC time are different when using the timedatectl command

Open kookooqoo opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is there any RTC hardware issue or this is normal behavior?

[root@localhost RTC]# timedatectl

sudo apt install chrony

Your RTC is not set to synchronize and to not set local time. It's working as configured. Yes timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock to set RTC to adjust the local time for the system clock.
