Syncronise time in terminal

[kingofmanjar0]

I using the computer through RDP . Date & Time is locked and the unlock button is disabled for some reason, even though the user is a “sudo” user. The system time is wrong, so I want synchronise it or enable automatic synchronisation in terminal. Is that possible?

Hi @kingofmanjar0,

I suspect you’re looking for the timedatectl command.

$ timedatectl --help
timedatectl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND ...

Query or change system time and date settings.

Commands:
status                   Show current time settings
show                     Show properties of systemd-timedated
set-time TIME            Set system time
set-timezone ZONE        Set system time zone
list-timezones           Show known time zones
set-local-rtc BOOL       Control whether RTC is in local time
set-ntp BOOL             Enable or disable network time synchronization

systemd-timesyncd Commands:
timesync-status          Show status of systemd-timesyncd
show-timesync            Show properties of systemd-timesyncd

Options:
-h --help                Show this help message
--version             Show package version
--no-pager            Do not pipe output into a pager
--no-ask-password     Do not prompt for password
-H --host=[USER@]HOST    Operate on remote host
-M --machine=CONTAINER   Operate on local container
--adjust-system-clock Adjust system clock when changing local RTC mode
--monitor             Monitor status of systemd-timesyncd
-p --property=NAME       Show only properties by this name
-a --all                 Show all properties, including empty ones
--value               When showing properties, only print the value

See the timedatectl(1) man page for details.

Hope this helps!

Have you tried setting the time from the Manjaro Settings Manager instead?

Manjaro Settings Manager

Manjaro Setting’s time was not disabled and setting it worked (it popped up the sudo dialogue). I wonder why Gnome Setting’s time option was disabled.
