I use Arch Linux OS with Linux 5.4.61-1-lts kernel, x86-64.
I noticed, that my UTC time is wrong:
[tao@dc ~]$ timedatectl
Local time: Sun 2020-08-30 12:15:41 EEST
Universal time: Sun 2020-08-30 09:15:41 UTC
RTC time: Sun 2020-08-30 09:15:41
Time zone: Europe/Chisinau (EEST, +0300)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: inactive
RTC in local TZ: no
while here I see 06:15:41.
I found only one way to change UTC time - using ntp:
[tao@dc ~]$ sudo ntpd -qg
[sudo] password for tao:

[tao@dc ~]$
But problem is that after reboot this change dumps. I would like to change permanently UTC time. I wouldn't like to put script somewhere in startup, I want to sort out this problem. Thank you for reading.
