15:32 <knob> Hello. I'm going crazy trying to update the time on an rpi that's connected via wifi to the network

15:33 <knob> Any ideas what I could try/

15:33 <knob> ?

15:41 <mack> knob: no internet connection to the Pi? The settings for NTP time servers work fine. If no internet, you can point them to a time service on your LAN. If the clock is days off and ntp is failing, you might try setting the date and time on the ssh console with the `date` command to get it close until ntp can get started.

15:42 <knob> mack, I'll try that... let me see if I can point it to my local router and see if it grabs the datetime from there.

15:42 <knob> If not... via ssh... I can do the $date and get it closer,

15:42 <knob> I'll ty that

15:42 <knob> *try that

15:44 <mack> Your localization / timezone should also be set for ntp to work properly.

15:46 <knob> mack, that part I have it set. I'm in Puerto Rico... which sets up the timezone America/Puerto_Rico (GMT-0400)

15:46 <knob> I just tried to point the rpi to my local router to see if it grabs the time from there.

15:46 <knob> btw, thanks for the help mack

15:48 <knob> mack, didn't cooperate grabbing the time from the local router

15:48 <knob> how can I use the date command? I did $man date yet no entry

15:50 <knob> this is insane the timedatectl doesn't

15:55 <mack> date -s ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS’

17:00 <knob> mack, that command for setting the time worked. Thank you.

17:01 <knob> Let me see if I can get it to update.

17:01 <knob> I don't understand why with a fresh-installation, it doesn't "grab" the time properly.
