How do I change the timezone to UTC? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

then go to "Etc" or "None of the above", there to UTC, enter, you're done. It actually changes files /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime.

Solution 2:

Unable to find UTC or GMT in the menu, I ended up running tzselect from the command prompt. I selected 11, enter posix standard time, then entered UTC-0. This appears to have done it.

thanks for all of the help.
