Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs On dual-booted machines, one system might assume that the hardware clock is set to UTC, and the other might assume it isn't. This leads to inconsistent clock settings when switching between the two systems. For example Windows normally assumes the hardware clock is local time and Linux usually assumes the opposite. The Gnome clock setting widget (also accessible via system-config-clock) has a tick-box to select which of these alternatives to use, but the KDE Date and Time settings dialogue does not. This means that the KDE user has to use the Gnome tool to set the option, even assuming he knows how to do this. This situation is undesirable and should be changed.
more in my case. Kubuntu kde 4.13... On changing the time , on the confirming i get an autentification error message
Once we make the timedated change it'll be possible to do this with SetLocalRTC() whether we want to clutter the UI with a windows hack is a different question.
I wouldn't consider adding a checkbox to be a windows hack, but a way of working well on systems where dual boot is set up. Also marking this as gardening+ as it should be relatively quick to solve/close.
This isn't a feature at this time still, if it could be implemented easily I think it would help a small but grateful group of users out.
