How to change Time Zone in Kali Linux
To change the Time Zone in Kali Linux, you can use the timedatectl command, which is a part of the systemd system and service manager. Follow these steps to change the Time Zone:
Open a Terminal: Launch the terminal on your Kali Linux system. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or searching for "Terminal" in the application launcher.
Check Current Time Zone: Before changing the Time Zone, you might want to check the current Time Zone. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
timedatectl
List Available Time Zones: To view a list of available Time Zones, use the following command:
timedatectl list-timezones
Set the Time Zone: Once you know the Time Zone you want to set, use the following command to change the Time Zone. Replace timezone with the desired Time Zone from the list:
arduino
sudo timedatectl set-timezone timezone
For example, to set the Time Zone to "America/New_York," you would run:
arduino
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
Verify Time Zone Change: To verify that the Time Zone has been changed successfully, you can run timedatectl again:
timedatectl
It should now display the updated Time Zone.
Synchronize Clock: After changing the Time Zone, you may want to synchronize the system clock with the new Time Zone. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd
With these steps, you have successfully changed the Time Zone in Kali Linux. The new Time Zone will be used for displaying the time and date in various applications and system utilities.
