Reset the date-time on the VM

This command does not work for me. Debian returns the following error message:
-bash: ntpdate: command not found

I'm running MindTouch Core 9.02.2 (VM package).

Hi mvaughan,
You may install "ntpdate" command by root user as:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install ntpdate

Hope this helps.

Thank you! Yes, that helped.

Also discovered that I had to enable internet-bound traffic with the following command:

# route add default gw 192.168.10.1

...where 192.168.10.1 is my Internet gateway/router. Then the apt-get commands were successful, and finally, so was the ntpdate command.

It's a fantastic news. :)

If you wish to update the time and date on our MindTouch Core 10+ systems running from the VM Virtual Appliance, simply install VMWare Tools onto the VM and it will take care of automatically syncing the VM's clock to the hosts. When following the VMWare Tools install instructions, to mount the CD-Rom properly, you must use the command:

#mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
Note: You may have a different designation for your CDROM device, mine was /dev/cdrom1. To determine yours, check your /dev directory by:
#cd /dev
and
#ls

You might also want to update your timezone to the proper locale either before or after the VMWare Tools Install...

To set correct timezone:
#dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Follow the onscreen graphical prompts to select your proper timezone. When done, your local time and the UTC will be displayed.
