I’m on Debian 12 KDE and i need to update the clock to Arizona time but it’s not available.
Honestly, it won’t even let me change it to California time. After entering my password it denies my request.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Edit Neither my user or root password works for this
Can you give more info about what you tried (commands, GUIS, etc)? What does it say when it denies your request?
Also, timezones usually go by cities - I for instance, I’m on AZ time as well, and the time zone for me is called America/Phoenix.
KDE: there is no Arizona
Try
timedatectl set-timezone US/Arizona.Thank you it worked
su -c 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'I don’t really know why that is. If you want to bypass the issue and just solve it, try
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdataon the command line.(Edit: Mind that sudo on the command line generally doesn’t show any stars or such things. After being prompted for it, you type in your password blind and hit enter.)
Can you use timedatectl from the cli, or change the /etc/localtime symlink? Then reboot or restart your Window Manager?
The clock may roll back to 1939.
But try changing it via tzsetup as root.
