Just to make it clear what we are talking about:
- hardware clock: the time of your computer's internal clock, should be
UTC, but local time is also possible
- system time: the system's internal reference, is always UTC, is
usually *not* shown to users (unless you choose UTC as timezone)
- user time: (not sure this is the correct name) basically system time +
timezone
Please not the timezone can be adjusted system-wide by the admin *and*
individually by each user.
To help diagnose your issues please show us the contents of /etc/adjtime
and /etc/timezone as well as the outputs (copy-pasted please) of
following commands
(as root)
hwclock --show
(as user)
date --utc
date
It might be interesting to check whether the two 'date' commands have
different outputs in a terminal under KDE and from a linux console (i.e.
what you get when you press Ctrl-Alt-F1).
Kind regards,
Andrei
