# timedatectl Local time: Tue 2017-01-31 12:49:07 MST Universal time: Tue 2017-01-31 19:49:07 UTC RTC time: n/a Time zone: America/Edmonton (MST, -0700) Network time on: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: yes
Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time zone. This mode can not be fully supported. It will create various problems with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The RTC time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to maintain it. If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
# timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 Failed to set local RTC: hwclock failed: Child process exited with code 70
BTW, I *LOVE* how timedatectl and nmcli work ! No more hunting around for obscure commands to set things up from the command line. I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up wifi from ssh with nmcli ! Love it ! Keep up the good work.
LG.
And the documentation is very good too. That definitely helps.

I'd rather have these tools than something like raspi-config

The Raspberry doesn't have a built-in RTC, so that's ok.

A RTC is a hardware clock. "RTC in local TZ: yes" only indicates, that the RTC would have been in local TZ. The alternative is UTC. Please check the warning for more information.
If you want a bit of time improvement without buying a RTC (and configuring it...), you can use systemd-timesyncd. It basically writes the current time periodically to a file. It also writes the time very late on shutdown to that file and gets the time from that file at startup early.
Cheers, Daniel

Then why do I get the warning ? Why does it say RTC in local TZ ?
