Hi everyone!

Some time ago, I have changed the clock of my SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro running on KDE, since the transition from summer to winter time did not go automatically. After that, the clock is late - even my hardware clock! So, I bought a new battery, but the problem is still there. Then I altered the time on my laptop, which has the same system, but is completely different on a hardware level and the same problem is now seen there too! I synchronise my clock everytime I am in KDE with an atomic clock server, but somehow it always runs late the next day. This sounds like a programming bug to me. Maybe there goes something wrong with logging out, when SuSE sets the hardware clock to the system time. Does anybody have a solution or know about this bug?

It's not a bug. KDE is the GUI but you need to run the ntp (network time protocol) program. This is what runs in the background to keep the time. Both Windows and OS X have versions of this software. Do this. 1. open an xterm. 2. su - root (give root password) 3. cd /etc/init.d/ 4. /sbin/insserv xntpd 5. type rcxntpd start What you've done here is add xntpd to your start up scripts and so everytime your machine boots it will sync up your clock. :) You can do this in YaST but I forget where it's located as I don't use YaST that much. You should have the correct time after this and not have to worry about it again.. KDE will just show the correct time. -Ben -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
