Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: smartinds@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1 I have in my bios a time (example: 16:08:00), but in OpenSUSE is 11:08:00. Well, I changed the time in KDE, all ok, but when I reboot the PC, the time still is wrong. I test with "Time Server - pool.ntp.org", also mannually, but nothing.... when I reboot the PC, the time still is wrong. Ah... my Time Zone is Lima - America/Peru.

This because the system time used by the kernel has to be in UTC otherwise the local time in the user space defined by choosing the time zone wghich leads to the file /etc/localtime used by all user space tools due glibc API. If it is required that BIOS doe not use UTC but locatime due a second operation system which is not able to handle UTC in BIOS then the installation routine has to make sure that mkinitrd is executed to provide the correct configuration of the initrd boot image which then will inform the kernel about the broken BIOS clock and how to correct the kernel system clock. This has to happen before the root file system is checked. NB: the old boot.clock boot script is not active anymore and even if it will be not used by systemd. -- 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.

@Jiri: Something seems to be missed in yast2-country as this bug happens.

If we can, I would suggest some kind of "warning / popup" when used uncheck "use UTC for hardware clock" to tell them it is unsafe and they should prefer running UTC for hardware clock (with reference to wiki or some documentation on how to configure Windows to work properly with UTC for hardware clock) -- 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.

Guess: They simply ignore that the file systems including the root file system should be mounted in the correct time zone. Please note that before accessing the file systems the clock in the kernel should be in UTC and therefore the userspace clock in the corect local time. Simply to avoid broken time stamps which could lead to files located in the future and data loose. Beside this Windows7[tm] can handle BIOS clock set to UTC, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_the_clock -- 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.
