Stupid question: Is your system clock set to the same time as your "real-time" clock ?

Possibly timezone related ?

You can confirm all time related using the command "timedatectl". Mine reports like this:

root:~# timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2024-09-30 22:18:34 EDT
           Universal time: Tue 2024-10-01 02:18:34 UTC
                 RTC time: Tue 2024-10-01 02:18:34
                Time zone: America/Toronto (EDT, -0400)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no
root:~#

Otherwise, I can't explain that. :frowning:
