Recurring issue of "Time-of-day not set"!
Solved
Hello dear friends,
I had this problem a month ago. I replaced the CMOS battery and nothing works, the problem keeps coming back and doesn't seem to resolve itself. For the past two days, I have to enter the BIOS and manually reset the date and time. When my Linux desktop appears, it is no longer set to the correct time and I set it manually. I've done this "dance" twice now. Could it be that the computer is to blame? Could my machine be defective?
Can someone help me?

I think you have a configured /etc/adjtime file. This file is supposed to correct the drift of time, but it can cause issues like the ones you mentioned.
You can correct the date with the "date" and "hwclock" commands and delete this file as indicated here:

Then I encourage you to install ntp (network time protocol) which allows you to automatically adjust your clock using time servers (no more need to correct the time in case of a time zone shift, for example).
Good luck

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install ntp
