Hello, Yuri, and thank-you for the prompt reply. The shortcut is useful. I have not used KDE for a while, because I had been using a really old computer, with Xfce, and it's moved on appreciably over the past few years. I had already gone to the 'Date and Time' window by the 'old' method of right-clicking on the clock and choosing 'Adjust Date and Time...', to setup the clock via europe.pool.ntp.org [after trying pool.ntp.org], and choosing my Time Zone as 'London'. Then I opted to 'Set date and time automatically:'. When clicking 'Apply', the clock changes to UTC, instead of BST.
The next thing I tried was right-clicking on the clock, choosing 'Digital Clock Settings'. Then I selected 'Time Zones' and noticed that 'London' and 'UTC' were both selected. I unchecked 'UTC'. Then I clicked 'Apply'. The clock didn't change from UTC, so I repeated the process for setting time automatically, via the 'Date and Time' window. This also had no effect; my clock still shows the UTC time, instead of BST. So, I am now at a loss about what to do. ??? ???, ??????? ?? ???? ??????. ??????.

Hi, There is a special System Settings module for this and documentation page (should be a part of your distribution, but also available online and as PDF for offline reading): http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/clock/index.html To access this configuration module just press Alt+F2 on your keyboard, then enter "time" (without quotation marks) and choose "Date & Time" from the list below. In a window that will be opened choose your time zone and configure NTP time server. Hope this helps. Best regards, Yuri
