You should be able to set the time by right-clicking on the time applet, selecting "Adjust Date and Time" change something, then click "Set System Time".

If this still doesn't work, what version of mint are you running?

I had the same problem. I used the command line "Date" to set my times. See the manual about displaying the string, then about setting the date with a string. Type it back in the mannor that it displayed the time you.
It would be somewhat like

Code: Select all

 date
Output:
Tue Aug 27 14:46:08 EST 2006

Code: Select all

date set="STRING"
date -s "2 OCT 2006 18:00:00"
date set="2 OCT 2006 18:00:00"
