When I updated to KDE 4.10.5 the time displayed in the system tray advanced 5 hours to UTC time. KDE's time zone setting was showing "Chicago", which is correct.
date -u showed that the hardware clock was set correctly but the system clock was not.
Changing the time using systemsettings via the system tray worked only temporarily, and gave errors. Using
kdesudo systemsettings
gave the same errors.
Using
sudo hwclock -s
worked only temporarily.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
"fixed" the problem. The clock setting in the KDE system tray shows the correct CDT, and it remains on boot up.
However
date -u
now shows
Mon Jul 15 15:01:58 UTC 2013
but
sudo hwclock -r
shows
Mon 15 Jul 2013 05:02:03 AM CDT -0.531833 seconds
A ten hour gap!
But, I'm happy. File timestamps use the time showing in the KDE clock. And, before this incident, I never concerned myself with the hardware or system clock time as long as the time my desktop showed me was the correct time. KDE still needs to fix its clock setting tool in systemsettings.
