Both date and time. The date may be a few days back, when I last shutdown the

I am on linux f42.
When I run timedatectl on a system without an RTC this is what I see:
# timedatectl
Local time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:13:11 GMT
Universal time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:13:11 UTC
RTC time: n/a
Time zone: Europe/London (GMT, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
And this is what I see in my KVM f43 kde VM:
$ timedatectl
Local time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16 GMT
Universal time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16 UTC
RTC time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16
Time zone: Europe/London (GMT, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
Notice the line "RTC time:" in the VM is showing a data and time and is correct
for me.
I see:
$ timedatectl
Local time: Mon 2026-01-26 22:22:11 AEDT
Universal time: Mon 2026-01-26 11:22:11 UTC
RTC time: Mon 2026-01-26 11:22:11
Time zone: Australia/ACT (AEDT, +1100)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: yes
Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time zone.
This mode cannot be fully supported. It will create various problems
with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The RTC
time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to maintain it.
If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling
'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
So I followed the suggestion and I now see:
$ timedatectl
Local time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16 GMT
Universal time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16 UTC
RTC time: Mon 2026-01-26 10:16:16
Time zone: Europe/London (GMT, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
I will look at the log after the next boot.
In the XML for my VM I see this reference to RTC:
<clock offset="utc">
<timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup"/>
<timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
<timer name="hpet" present="no"/>
</clock>
same here.
I used Virtual Machine Manager to create and run the VM.
same here.

Thanks Barry.
