Good day everyone, install Trunas Core perfectly and everything is fine.Until the BIOS battery was exhausted, it was changed, then the BIOS time was desynchronized from the system one.
I adjust the system time and the BIOS time is misadjusted and I need both times to be synchronized since I have configured the server to turn on automatically at one time.
I put the time zone in America/Panama, the time displayed by the WebUI is correct, but when I run the command: date, the time does not correspond.

I tried to use the hwclock command, but the system sends me that the command not found.

Then someone can tell me what is the correct time zone for Panama.

I apologize for my English.


I hope you can help me.

Find the optionIn the BIOS to change the time zone, but you don't have that option. It's an old bios.

Set your BIOS time to UTC. You should not try to "fix" the BIOS for a regional timezone.

I don't see in the BIOS where to change the time to UTC.

I put the correct time in the BIOS but when I run the date command there is 4 hours difference.

You set the BIOS clock to the correct time in UTC. The BIOS is far too dumb to recognize time zones.

I did, but if you see in the screenshot the time does not correspond to the one shown in the WebUI. There is 5 hours difference

The time of the date command is correct with the BIOS.

What I do not understand because if I already have the time of the BIOS synchronized with the kernel.

Why does the wrong time keep appearing in the WebUI?

The settings you've boxed in red are for the time FORMAT. While this usually also shows the current time, I suggest trying a reboot after setting your timezone to whatever your local timezone is (sorry I don't know offhand). Then I suggest a quick reboot to see if things make more sense.
