0034 <para>You can use this module to alter the system date and time, using a
0035 convenient graphical interface.</para>

0037 <note><para>As these settings do not only affect you as a user, 
0038 but rather the whole system, you must have system administrator (<systemitem
0039 class="username">root</systemitem>) access to change the system date and
0040 time.  If you do not have this access level, this module will only show
0041 you the current settings, but your changes will not be saved.</para></note>

0047 this module will use <acronym>systemd</acronym> to fetch date and time.</para>

0049 <para>On a computer without <acronym>systemd</acronym> the <acronym>NTP</acronym>
0050 utilities <command>rdate</command> or <command>ntpdate</command> are used.
0051 If these utilities are missing please install them.

0054 <para>When you log in to the &plasma; session while being online or when you later
0055 connect to the Internet the access to one or more <acronym>NTP</acronym> servers happens.</para>
0056 <para>This is not sufficient, however, for maintaining an accurate clock in the long run.
0057 This is useful for occasionally setting the time on machines that do not have full-time
0058 network access, such as laptops.

0061 <para>If you do not use a time server, you are able to set the date manually 
0062 in the calendar.</para>
0063 <para>Use the controls at the bottom of the calendar
0064 to select the current date, enter the date in the edit box or select the 
0065 week of the year from the drop down box.</para>
0066 
0067 <para>You set the time using the spin boxes at the bottom of the analog clock.
0068 You can also directly enter your value.</para>
