Hello!!

 

I am trying to synchronize time between my dual boot Live (USB) MX Linux 23.1 and Windows 10 (internal hard disk).

 

First, I have changed Windows time zone to UTC in the registry.

 

Then, the tutorials I have found say execute in linux:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

But this doen´t work in a MX Linux Live system because uses sysVinit instead systemd, mandatory. The result is a warning error...

 

Anyone knows steps to synchronize time between a LIVE USB MX Linux (remember, with commands for sysVinit, the only option) and Windows 10?

 

Thanks!.

I believe this is one of these issues you have to live with.

 

The problem stems from the fact that Windows always uses "local time".....whereas Linux invariably tends to use UTC instead. So it makes little difference WHAT your machine's internal time is set to, because Linux likes to query time from the internet....

 

The ultimate solution to dual-boot issues is simple. DON'T dual-boot! Keep Windows and Linux totally separate, on different machines. Windows is a pig anyway, and wants to have complete control of every piece of your machine's hardware. Separate installs stops all of this from happening in the first place.

 

Feel free to ignore this. I don't know a specific answer to this issue; I haven't used the Redmond beast for over 10 years. Have you asked on the MX forums? They're better-equipped to answer this than we are...
