I’m on Debian 12 KDE and i need to update the clock to Arizona time but it’s not available.

Honestly, it won’t even let me change it to California time. After entering my password it denies my request.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Edit Neither my user or root password works for this

    I don’t really know why that is. If you want to bypass the issue and just solve it, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata on the command line.

    (Edit: Mind that sudo on the command line generally doesn’t show any stars or such things. After being prompted for it, you type in your password blind and hit enter.)

    Can you use timedatectl from the cli, or change the /etc/localtime symlink? Then reboot or restart your Window Manager?
