Set the time
############
|CLOSIA| uses the `systemd-timesyncd.service` daemon to synchronize time.
This section provides instructions to reset the time in your |CL| system when
the default :abbr:`NTP (Network Time Protocol)` servers cannot be reached.
#. Install the `sysadmin-basic` bundle:
.. code-block:: console
swupd bundle-add sysadmin-basic
#. Set your timezone. This example uses Los Angeles.
.. code-block:: console
timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles
.. note::
To see a list of timezones, enter:
`timedatectl list-timezones | grep <locale>`
#. Create a :file:`/etc/systemd/` directory.
.. code-block:: console
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/
#. Create a new file named :file:`/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf` and enter the
following:
.. code-block:: .conf
[Time]
NTP=<Preferred Server>
FallbackNTP=<backup server 1> <backup server 2>
#. Enable the `systemd-timesyncd` service.
.. code-block:: console
timedatectl set-ntp true
.. note::
Use the :command:`timedatectl status` command to check the service status.
To restart the `timesyncd` daemon, enter :command:`systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd`
into your terminal emulator.
Congratulations! You have successfully set up the time in your |CL| system.
Further, you are now able to change the time and timezone from your |CL|
desktop. The :guilabel:`Date & Time` options are located in the
:guilabel:`Settings` application under the :guilabel:`Details`
tab.
