I am virtualizing Debian 9 on a Vmware 6.0. Time is going nuts












0















I am using Debian 9 (64) with a german keyboard.
tzselect EUROPE/Berlin



local time now is 10:28



Debian date says: 03:28:30 CST 2019



I have switched off the "hardware" timesetting from the vmware host.



I use a local NTP server



kind regards,



Bodo

  • Supposedly you have to change the idea of the OS of whether the (emulated) BIOS maintains its time in your local timezone, and not in UTC. See hwclock(8) for more info. Basically, Debian installers default that setting to UTC, but Microsoft® Windows™ default it to LOCAL, and hence most virtualizing software assumes just that and pretends the H/W clock on the "machine" contains time in the local TZ. Look for "adjtime file" in that manual page.
