When I set the system time via
$ sudo date +%T -s “12:34:00”
and then reboot, the time i get displayed returns to the previous wrong time…
the time in the bios is ok, and i am set to the correct time zone, so i guess i am missing something else here?
it all started after my bios battery was empty and needed to be replaced…
thank you!
You can setup time in msm .

Hi @kalimerox ,
Sounds to me like your locale is messed up. Have a look here:
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Locale Errors
Locale errors are not always obvious and some applications simply stop working without any hints at all - e.g. Gnome Terminal is very sensitive to incorrect configuration of locale.
TL:DR
As root edit the file /etc/locale.gen
Enable the needed locales - including en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 as fallback.
Rebuild the locale database using the locale-gen script
The Calamares installer adds the locales chosen to the end of /etc/locale.gen so check the bottom of the file …

Do you have a dual boot system Linux/Windows ?

That depends on what you mean with wrong time - are you seeing 12-hour format or 24-hour format and which one are you expecting?
Or is the clock outright wrong e.g. 10:34 when it should be 12:34?
Does your /etc/localtime symlink to the correct timezone?
$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 12 mar 13:23 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen
Did you enable the ntp client
systemctl enable --now systemd-timesyncd
Dualbooting windows requires special care
