Edit changed title from How is time and date set in HiFiBerryOS to Time and date refuses to sync in HiFiBerryOS
Hi all,
I had an issue with Spotify Connect (which is now solved) and noticed there that after a fresh installation my date and time was completely off. Running the timedatectl command gave:
timedatectl
Local time: Sat 2020-09-12 12:55:53 UTC
Universal time: Sat 2020-09-12 12:55:53 UTC
RTC time: n/a
Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
It thought it was Sep 12 2020 but it was Dec 30 2020. The hour was off as well, even after changing the time zone with
timedatectlset-timezone 'Europe/Brussels'
So I was wondering, how does the HiFiBerry set its time and date during the installation? Or how should it do it?
