I have SuSE 10.0 running at work and at home and it works great. Except I cannot -- either through the applet at the top of the screen or through YAST -- get SuSE to do the time right. I set the correct time and date and click Apply it doesn't stick. I even tried rebooting -- something you usually don't have to do -- but it made no difference. Sigh. Currently my time is correct but the date reads March 4 (should be April 3). I run Gnome so I am thinking this could be a Gnome bug. Any suggestions?

Errm, what date do you see if you try to set it to April 2 (or April 1 :) ? What locale/format have you set for dates? Cheers, Dave

John, I was having similar problems with SuSE 10.0 on my laptop. Simply would not maintain the settings. Here's how I finally got the date and time to maintain the correct settings. 1) shut down computer 2) boot up into BIOS 3) Set time and date in BIOS, save settings and exit 4) Boot the machine and open YAST/System/Date&Time 5) Make sure system clock setting is UTC 6) On another computer open the webpage: http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java 7) On the first computer set the clock to correct time that you got from the website in step 6 (or close to it) 8) Exit YAST cleanly 9) Open a terminal, become root, adjust the time on your desktop clock by typing: ntpdate time.uh.edu 10) Still in the terminal, type: hwclock --systohc rm /etc/adjtime 11) Exit the terminal. That should do it. My laptop has been rock-steady on time and date ever since I did this. Hope it helps. Gil

UTC means the end of multi booting with correct time in windows. I have the same problem in Suse 10 on a new desktop from Micro Star International. The machine is usually not online so that ends NTP. I hope Suse will patch this issue soon. They never had this problem before. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

There is no problem. Just search the list archive for the word "clock" or "time" and my address in the "from" field. I have explained how, why, etc, countless times. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFET0oHtTMYHG2NR9URAni9AKCL6vjau+hv3fAse/O9537oPJf6vwCcCdJx 0tP9FzTSYkl74tcnoyOMXgM= =Zhs7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Does it actually show March as a word or does it show the date
numerically

Try from the command line (as root): date -s MMDDhhmm -s set date-time MM month DD day hh hour mm minutes note: month, day, hour and minutes need to be two digits each date -s 04031233 or more extensive Usage: date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT] or: date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]] date -s 040312332006.33 man date If this does not solve your problem, please give your observations and we will try again. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Great if you do not shut down daily or you always start up at the same time. Where would I put a script with prompts for the info to correct this on boot up? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
