I guess at this point I will purchase a 'sed' book. Would you happen to have any recommendations? I apologize as I know in my heart that I challenge myself to help others.

Is there an /etc/default/rcS file on your Fedora computer? An equivalent file likely exists on Fedora. I'm not sure where you found that sed command, but on Fedora, the appropriate way to manipulate the hardware clock is with the hwclock command. I was getting confused because of my typos and not understanding how to punctuate properly. I never really cared ' vs. " Can you help me? Thank you for your time.

Yes would it matter a whole lot between Fedora and Debian if this command: --> sudo sed -i s/UTC=yes/UTC=no/ /etc/default/rcS <-- was inputed. Obviously /etc/default/rcS is where I open the file from via NANO or VI. Then as a Noob rcS is apparently the place to install the on/off with utc via CMOS? I don't understand the question.

Yes. It is being used to modify a config file. It probably is because Mint assumes the the BIOS clock is UTC. Then when you have a time zone configured on Mint, the time is adjusted to fit the timezone. You need to edit the /etc/default/rcS file and tell the OS directly that the BIOS clock is not UTC. You can edit the file manually or just run: Code: sudo sed -i s/UTC=yes/UTC=no/ /etc/default/rcSRyan are you still out there?

Thank you for mentioning that - 😈 Would you be able to assist me in the future? paul g From: ryan.coleman at cwis.biz Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 19:06:04 -0600 To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Bios clock and Linux UTC clock refuse to set at the same time. Paul - Can you please make sure you make a brand new email in the future when you have a topic change? If you reply, change the subject and then send your emails get lost in other threads - like this one. Thanks!

I have had a problem setting the same UTC time between CMOS/BIOS and Linux UTC clock. Now every time I enter terminal and enter the following command. uname -a paul at desk/paul-Lenovo ~ $ uname -a Linux desk/paul-Lenovo 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Well obviously that is not the correct time or date. Though the correct time and date is displayed on the Linux Mint 17 64bit edition with Mate desktop 'as the correct time. I heard there is a command using 'sed' to fix this. 1. is this a common issue? Initially after I installed the new Duracell 2032 battery the system fans were running at full speed; then finally I took note. 'Something is wrong' and then I proceeded to clear the CMOS. I seem to have misplaced the proper weblink but it involved only switching the cmos jumper over to pins 2-3 and powering on the machine and waiting for a series of beeps. Then moving the onboard CMOS jumper back to it's original position. Powering the machine on and then again setting the BIOS configuration values. <--That has cleared the fan issue and any bootime errors that had/were occuring. Prior of course to this is that I went through an issue which I should have noted immediately upon connecting the machine to even AC power was 'UPDATE THE BIOS FIRMWARE' if possible. 2. Can anyone help me configure my system clock to the Linux clock? <--So I can have the correct time across my entire computer. Thank you for your time.
