In Ubuntu system, you can set the date and time in a few different ways:

  1. You can use the date command in the command line to set the date and time. The command format is as follows:
sudo date MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]

In the above, MM represents the month, DD the date, hh the hour, mm the minute, CC the century, YY the year, and ss the second.

  1. Through the graphical interface: In the Ubuntu desktop environment, you can open system settings, choose the date and time option, and manually set the date and time.
  2. By setting your time zone: You can adjust the date and time automatically by selecting your time zone in the system settings.

No matter which method is used, the system will automatically update the date and time after setting.
