help can not set date time

If you are using GNOME:

System --> Administration --> Time and Date.

Click on "Unlock", enter your login password and click "Authenticate" , and you should be able to adjust the time and date.

unlock DISABLED

Help and close ENABLED. Is it funny?

My apologies; I didn't realise that the "Unlock" button was inactive.

Are you able to adjust date and time if you right-click the clock in the panel and select "Adjust Date & Time"?

No, I can not find button enabled to set date time
I found disabled button
Any help?

dnairb,

Try setting the date from the command line if you have sudo privileges. Steps:

  1. Open Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
  2. In the terminal window which appears, type the following command:
         sudo date --set="2009-07-10 15:30:42 -0500"
  3. You will see a prompt for your sudo password at this point. Enter it (i.e. probably your normal password for your Ubuntu username)

Your system time should now be set, assuming you were able to enter your sudo password correctly. You should, of course, run the command in step #2 with the correct date and time. You can permanently save the system time you've entered to your computer's hardware clock using a command like:

   sudo hwclock --systohc

Good luck.
Josh
