sabayonino I read that whole wiki page as well as the relevant wiki pages for sabayon, and I am not getting anywhere.
I tried: timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 result -> system clock reports UTC time.
I tried: timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 result -> system clock reports UTC time. with the additional warning (in the output of timedatectl):
Warning: The RTC is configured to maintain time in the local timezone. This
mode is not fully supported and will create various problems with time
zone changes and daylight saving adjustments. If at all possible use
RTC in UTC, by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
So I set it back: timedatectl set-local-rtc 0
I tried CLOCK="UTC" in /etc/conf.d/clock result -> system clock reports UTC time.
I tried CLOCK="local" in /etc/conf.d/clock result -> system clock reports UTC time.
Out of desperation I even tried (even though I know this is the openrc time conf file):
CLOCK="UTC" in /etc/conf.d/hwclock result -> system clock reports UTC time.
CLOCK="local" in /etc/conf.d/hwclock result -> system clock reports UTC time.
Of course I rebooted each time I made these changes. I have verified that I don't have any scripts in local.d that are changing the time during init.
The accurate localtime is reported by hwclock:
$ sudo hwclock --utc --show
Tue 08 Jul 2014 11:43:01 PM MDT -0.625875 seconds
A few seconds later:
$ timedatectl

This is really driving me nuts. It seems no matter what I do the system time comes up UTC. What am I missing?
