Setting the time
The zBitx, out of the box, has some time offset built into the software.
Here is the procedure to get the time in sync.
- Open file manager on the zBitx and navigate to the /home/pi folder. Right click and select the ¡°Show hidden¡± option.
- Open the ¡°.profile¡± file and scroll down to the last line. Comment out this line by adding a ¡°#¡± before the line.?
- If done correctly the line should read ¡°#TZ=America/Phoenix; export TZ¡±
- Save the file and open terminal by using Ctrl+Alt+T.
- In the Terminal program, enter the command ¡°sudo ntpdate -u ¡± and hit enter.
- If the command has been executed correctly, you will see a message indicating the current date and time and the offset in seconds.
- Once this is done, reboot the zBitx. When the zBitx reboots, the correct time should be displayed in the taskbar.
