Hello All I am using SuSe 10.1 and my time keeps running ahead of after about 3 days im a good 10 minutes ahead. I have used YAST to set up my timezone and such but still not luck. Is anyone else experiencing this and have you been able to fix it ?

The best thing to do is to enable NTP. Search the list archives if you don't know how.

The one notable similar experience that I had was with SuSE 9.3. In that case (and I'm not even going to try to understand or explain why this would happen), disabling Frequency Scaling in powersaved fixed the problem. Now that I think about it, though, that might have involved the clock skewing back instead of forward. Have you considered setting up ntp to sync the clock to an outside source? It doesn't solve the base cause, but it should eliminate the symptoms... -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Yes, many expercience similar behaviour. As much as I understood it, there is a file /etc/adjtime that makes the "time speed corrections". When booting, the sytem takes the time from the hardware clock, then runs virtually and speed adjusted by /etc/adjtime, when shutting down the hardware clock gets set to the actual "virtual time". If, for example, the hardware clock was set to July 1st today and you correct in KDE to July 12th, the system "thinks", "wow, hardware clock is much too slow" and puts a corrective value in /etc/adjtime to make it faster. So the trick is to remove /etc/adjtime: setup the clock by your prefered method hwclock --systohc rm /etc/adjtime The system will create a new /etc/adjtime later, but it will have "forgotten" the speedy values. Source of my considerations is the help I received here when having the similar problem: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2006-Mar/2932.html regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com special interest site: http://www.bauer-nudes.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
