[00:45] <fin> hi everyone! just installed xubuntu as my daily OS and it's working great so far. I did have to make a few adjustments but they're minor things
[00:45] <fin> my dell is running faster now :-D
[01:48] <xu-irc26w> hello
[16:37] <fin1> hi there, my xubuntu cannot sync with the correct timezone even though i've installed ntp. Does anyone have a solution to this?
[17:35] <tomreyn> fin1: if you run a supported xubuntu release there is no need to install ntp, since there's already systemd-timesyncd which does this well enough.
[17:35] <tomreyn> fin1: are there errors on your logs which would explain why the synchronization fails?
[17:37] <fin1> Hi tomreyn, the time sync apparently works, but it sets the time back around 4-6 hours in my timezone (PDT)
[17:38] <fin1> there are no error displayed on my terminal
[17:38] <tomreyn> fin1: can you show the   timedatectl    output
[17:40] <tomreyn> also:    date
[17:40] <tomreyn> !paste
[17:40] <genii> Probably wrong timezone is set
[17:40] <tomreyn> ls -l /etc/localtime
[17:42] <tomreyn> fin1: in case you dual-boot with windows this can be why your system time gets set incorrectly, because windows sets the hardware clock to the local time zone, whereas Ubuntu (and other UNIX-like systems) will set it to UTC time.
[17:42] <fin1> I had to manually set the time. Let me switch back to auto sync mode and get the time from the sync session
[17:44] <fin1> does anyone know how to trigger sync with the internet server
[17:46] <fin1> tomreyn: hmm that seems possible as i just switched from Windows 10 to Xubuntu Focal Fossa. I did specify Xubuntu to delete all Windows files and partitions to install Xubuntu
[17:46] <fin1> I wonder if that could cause problems
[17:46] <tomreyn> it would not, only windows running would cause this problem
[17:55] <fin> !pastebin
[17:55] <fin> !pastbinit
[17:55] <fin> !pastebinit
[17:56] <fin> hi i'm back. I'm gonna paste the timedatectl info on here
[17:58] <fin> here's the patebin: https://pastebin.com/pwuMMVdr
[17:58] <fin> it seems timedatectl sets my current time 7 hours behind the UTC and RCT time
[17:58] <fin> not sure why it does that
[17:59] <fin> im based in vancouver, BC so the time should be 10:59AM 
[18:03] <tomreyn> fin: that's (almost) what the hardware clock is set to.
[18:04] <tomreyn> so i guess windows set it to local time, but Xbuntu isn't aware of that
[18:05] <tomreyn> fin: so you should manually set the time so that it's roughly correct (in terms of hours, at least), then see whether it gets into synch
[18:07] <fin> usually, if i manually set the time , Xubuntu will reset it on the next reboot
[18:08] <fin> how do it permanently set the correct time? Do i need to adjust the hardware time? 
[18:09] <tomreyn> i think if you will    sudo timedatectl set-time 11:09:00    now then it should last until after a reboot
[18:12] <tomreyn> the hardware RTC should get updated when xubuntu shuts down, but you can manually set it using    sudo hwclock --systohc
[18:20] <fin> i'll try it. Thanks tomreyn
[22:27] <xu-irc83w> Hello everyone,  just installed xubuntu (first time, yeah!).  My laptop cant see the wifi network (my phone and another windows machine can see them).  Went through docs and found instructions to use the network manager - but that does not come up when i search for it.  I appreciate instructions how to get that going and connect that machine to the
[22:27] <xu-irc83w> internet. Many thanks in advance, Marc
[22:28] <xu-irc83w> I also did the sudo lshw -c network and got 'network UNCLAIMED
[22:31] <xu-irc83w> and created a connection, giving SSID  and Mac address, to no avail
[23:52] <fin> hey xi-irc83w, my Xubuntu didn't see any wifi networks when i first tried it. My laptop uses the Broadcom wifi driver to manage internet connections. I managed to fix it by navigating to Software & Updates > Click the Additional Drivers tab > Select the option that says "Broadcom wireless driver source from kernel (proprietary)" or any options that says similar thing
