Does anyone have any advice?

Hello,
I’m building my first mirror, and I’m having trouble with the time and date. I followed the installation instructions very closely, and everything was working at first. However, I realized that when I shut everything down and turned it on a few days earlier, the system date and time started from right where they left off (right now I’m about 6 days behind). I’ve read through a few forums and haven’t gotten it to work. I realize this is not a Magic Mirror question, but more of a RPi system question.

-I definitely have the correct time zone, region, etc. This does not correct anything if I’m off.
-The time updates when I do this: "sudo date -s “Thu Aug 9 21:31:26 UTC 2012"” but then does not update if the pi is turned off and on again.
-I’m connected through my wifi- not an ethernet cable.
-I’ve also tried this since it’s been suggested:

//sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop
//sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start

This is probably a rather simple fix, but I’m new to this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

No I don’t think so, and that must be my issue. I don’t see this in the complete setup instructions though. Where would I install the dependencies? Again, I’m very new to this so I’m probably missing it. Thanks for the help.

Hello,
I followed the step-by-step instructions very closely (at least I thought), but I’m running into a problem at the very last step. I’m not familiar with working in the terminal, so I don’t really know what’s wrong even though I’m sure it’s a simple fix. The error code is below and the debug file is below that. Any help would be appreciated.
