from what ive heard its easier to break manjaro than arch (or at least a well installed arch)
I must have installed mine like shit then lol
ive been using arch for a couple of months and the only thing that has broken is the timezone
i have tried using the same command to set the time as i did when i first installed (it worked) but now it just wont changev. if anyone wants to help, id be pleased :]
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#Time_zone
What does
realpath /etc/localtimesay?'realpath /etc/localtime' says "/etc/localtime"
Weird and what's in it?
Open with a text editor or execute
cat /etc/localtimei tried using the wiki to fix it and now it has the correct timezone. realpath answers "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo"
though the xfce time still shows that the pc time is 16 minutes late. date command does the same. (exemple: phone shows 15:16, which is the actual time, while pc shows 15:00)
though i dont live in sao paulo, it is just a little north of here and should be in the same timezone. also, when i installed the OS with that timezone, it showed the correct time.
This sounds like your clock may be out of sync?
Have a look at timesyncd https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-timesyncd#Usage
thank you so much, i never even thought it couldve been a time sync problem, for some reason.
My pc time is now correct, and i cant thank you enough :]
No worries, awesome that you were able fix it!
