Time and Date wrong

You can not edit a configuration file as a normal user. That is basic
security in linux. To edit files you must obtain super user rights. 

In Ubuntu this happens by writing "sudo gedit /path/to/file". The
"sudo" part tells that you want to run the "gedit" editor with super
user rights and opening "file". This makes the file read/write as you
now have the administrating rights of the super user. Your user
password will be asked to give you the super user rights. 

The link in the previous mail says:

Edit the file /etc/default/rcS. in there is a setting for time
("UTC="). 
Set it to no ("UTC=no") 

This means that you simply find the "UTC=" in the file and add "no"
after it. Then save and quit. Problem should be fixed during the next
start. Someone wiser will hopefully tell you how to make the changes in
effect without booting.
