Unable to change Timezone
Hi,
I'm running Bazzite-Deck-Stable on a Beelink SER5 Mini PC 5500u.
Everything went smoothly in the install and I'm able to play games ok. Possibly a bug or issue though is with the Timezone.
I set it for my local tz which is UTC -8:00 / Singapore Time, but the reported time is 13 hours behind. Example, it's 8:50pm where I am, and it's 3:50am on the OS clock. The BIOS also reports my correct local time.
When I try to toggle it in Game Mode, nothing changes. Also in desktop mode, I get a popup saying "unable to change NTP" something like that.
Is this something I need to tweak in the BIOS?

If you run
timedatectl
What do you seeIt's listed as America/Los Angeles
sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Singapore
?Ran it, but I'm rebooting now to check if it reflects
Immediately though did not see a change in the system clock
Should've checked first with
timedatectl
Ay yes, I ran that straight away after doing the change. Didn't change
Very weird, it should've changed
Pardon the photos, but here's what I see

Ah wait it did change
On terminal yes, on the system clock it did not
If yes, than couple of minutes and ntp should kick in
Ok I'll give it a bit. Hopefully it changes eventually
