When I set the time with date --set it lists EEST time. How do I set EDT instead?

It is still 7 hours ahead. Sofia time?

How does a graphics chip mess up the time by 7 hours?

I wonder if you do the right thing to set the timezone, how you do it ?
Here's what I did and works without problems:
- From Menu > Settings > Set Timezone
Selected New York (just to test) (see pic)
In /etc/timezone it should be then:
Then the date command shows the New york time and timezone EDT
You can use tzselect also, but I think it needs editing ~/.profile manually.
The Sofia time is the timezone set by the author of the ISO, so if you still have Sofia timezone, something went wrong in how you set it up, I guess.

That seems very unlikely to me.
EDIT: Attached, altered sources list for Debiandog-Jessie (JWM), remove fake.gz extension
EDIT2: You can also try "peasyclock" for setting the time(zone), it's from rcrsn51 made for Stretch, but works on Wheezy too:
https://fredx181.github.io/StretchDog/i ... .4_all.deb
Install (needs internet connection and working apt, to install dependency ntpdate)
Code: Select all
dpkg -i peasyclock_1.4_all.deb
apt-get -f install # needs internet connection and working apt, to install dependency ntpdate
EDIT Or if apt not working, install this ntpdate deb
http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/m ... 2_i386.deb
Code: Select all
dpkg -i ntpdate_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-7+deb8u2_i386.deb
Somehow peasyclock doesn't show in the Menu, so run from terminal:
Or:
And it will show in Menu
First time start it shows message about config setting, then just run again.
