Hi
I have set the tde lock to local time zone (mine is spain) and set the
clock the corresponding time
however the time on the terminal is 2 hours earlier
Date gives
Sun Jun 18 19:36:19 Europa 2017
While it is actually 21:36
Timedatectl
gives
Local time: Sun 2017-06-18 21:37:37 CEST
Universal time: Sun 2017-06-18 19:37:37 UTC
Timezone: Europe/Madrid (CEST, +0200)
I have set the TZ variable to Madrid but the system sticks with UTC
What can I do

Can you double check the setting of TZ ? I think it may be set to
"Europa/Madrid" which is not a known zone so tzlibs assume UTC.
$ TZ=Europe/Madrid date
Sun 25 Jun 22:57:08 CEST 2017
$ TZ=Europa/Madrid date
Sun 25 Jun 20:59:54 Europa 2017
However you shouldn't need to set it as your system time is already
"Europe/Madrid" (note spelling). To change the overall system timezone
on Debian/Ubuntu, best way is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata".
