[arm-allstar] I am new, and the time is wrong

[Kipton Moravec]

I found examples on the internet, for setting the time with timedatectl at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time


[root at K5PRK_UHF asterisk]# hwclock --systohc
hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
hwclock: Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an 
access method.
[root at K5PRK_UHF asterisk]# timedatectl set-time "2019-08-28 20:17:00"
Failed to set time: Automatic time synchronization is enabled
