--- Comment #17 from Carlos Robinson
Hmmm ... please explain how ths is solved e.g. on Debian or RedHat? I'm pretty sure that both uses UTC as default in their setups. IMHO VMWare is third party and we have no maintainer for this.
I have no idea how other distributions handle this. Obviously they are Linux, so the clock will be handled similarly (ie, system clock in UTC), I'm sure SUSE is interested that vmware works well with SUSE distros, either as host or as clients. I know they have agreements.
which is VMWare documentation with:
Virtual Hardware clock configuration When configuring the Linux guest operating system, if you are given a choice between keeping the “hardware” clock (that is, the virtual CMOS time of day clock) in UTC or local time, choose UTC. This avoids any confusion when your local time changes between standard and daylight saving time (in England, "summer time").
Well, vmplayer works wrong with that setting.
therefore I've the question: Do you have configiured you VMWare setup to assume UTC in the CMOS clock of your host system?
It has the default settings, I don't touch them.
rtc.diffFromUTC = 0 sets the clock to UTC at power on, while setting
No such variable in the entire /etc/vmware tree, or the OpenSUSE 12.3.vmx file. I'll try creating it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
