Hi!
It seems that your CMOS count time in UTC. So, If CST stands for China
Standart Time then time zone offset: UTC + 8 hours ;)
Thanks,and i understand it,Time in cmos is UTC,and the system time is your local time.there is time zone between them. and time in China is earlier 8 hours than UTC,so time in China shoud be UTC + 8.
and when you install the ubuntu, ubuntu will let you choose the area where you are,and configure it.and start up the OS
and OS read UTC from cmos,then,calculate your local time base on the UTC.
