BUT a new development - possibly not new but just something I didn't notice earlier - is that the clock (bottom RH, which is supposed to be set by the ntp daemon) is suddenly showing Tuesday 27 May 01:43 hours when it is in fact Sunday 25 May 19:43 hours.

The clock has been showing the correct date/time all day.

you are not possibly at GMT-6?? then your clocks is displaying gmt rather than local time. Adjust

Ah, Patrick, your mind is as alert and incisive as usual. "Adjust" you say. Could I possible be at "GMT-6"? No, absolutely not. I am at GMT-10 -- I am in Canberra, the Capital of Australia. And I know that "my" clocks are showing the wrong date/time otherwise I would not mentioned this in the message above. I was stating that the clock was wrong for the very bleeding obvious reason which is that I re-installed 11.0 Beta3 and the clock (once again, and again, and again,...) comes up with the wrong time - until it is reset with ntpdate. The clock is perfect while I am running 10.3, perfect. But when I install 11.0 Beta3 the clock goes RS. Just to make it kinda interesting, I'll throw this in: I adjusted the clock during the installation process - at the point where one selects the time zone and where one is also asked if one wants to adjust the date/clock. (I didn't do the "ntpdate -u <serverID> this time 'round). Well, doing so seems to have no real effect because the clock is still wrong, as you saw above.

ps: would really by nice if you could trim a little of your copious quotes.

And this on top of your private message to me..... I'm flattered that you are keeping such a close eye on me and looking out that I don't do anything 'naughty' (wink, wink, nudge, nudge!) If you HAVE been paying attention to what is being/has been stated in this thread, you will see that I am keeping up the information to the reply from JP Rosevear on 24/05/08 at 0431hours to me in this thread and which he also crossposted to opensuse. If your MUTT, 1.5.13 (2006.08.11) which you are using on SUSE 10.1, with Linux 2.6.18.8-396-default (x86_64), cannot pick up on these nuances in addressing then I suggest that you "get hip", "get with it", and upgrade to the latest versions of the software, and OS, you are now using. BTW, your MUTT is showing that my reply should *also* go to opensuse but I have decided not to send it there as well. Aren't I gracious? Ciao. PS In case it causes you - and others - great distress, this message will have a time stamp of something like 1820 hours on Wed 28 May 2008 because this is what Beta3 has determined should be the time stamp even though it is now 1630 hours on Monday 26 May, Australian Eastern Daylight Time (ie, GMT-10). 11.0 Beta3, I luvsya! :-* .) -- Vulgar language is the linguistic crutch of inarticulate persons. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
