Since upgrading from 7.0 to 7.1 my system never seems to be able to set the time properly. It's fine in the BIOS, and worked perfectly with 7.0/2.2.16, but now with 7.1/2.2.18 it's always hours off. I've tried every combination via yast1 I can think of (e.g. "America/Los Angeles", PST, PDT, GMT-8, all tried with BIOS uses "Local Time" or "GMT") and it is /still/ off by 4-8hours depending on which combo I try.
Me too! (Only two hours but still)
Me Too! Im in New York area, I use yast to set the timezone to new york local time the clock ends up being 3 hours off I go into the bios, verify the time, (there isnt a Greenwich mean time in my bios) Linux clock is still 3 hours + off use the hwclock setting suggested by Chris, reboot no difference verify the bios, reboot, no difference use yast to get the timezone to new york, use GMT, reboot, no difference Use yast to set the tz to Universial ;-) now my clock is only 20 min off.... I plan to adjust this in the bios -20 min fwiw... the Linux clock worked fine in 6.4 & 5.3 I suspect the data table that yast uses is corrupt of the logic it uses is flawed in other words .... its broke suggestions?? thanks rob
