Hi
I had ( and maybe have) a problem with the time on my SuSE 9.0 box. The time is just wrong and I cannot change it ( it won't accept my changes). Went to the data base for assistance and found an article http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/06/bjacke_hwclock.html Did what was suggested , the time changed ( don't know yet what it will be after a reboot). However there is one sentence in this art. what sort of puzzles me :
In order to maintain the time as precise as possible, this procedure shall be repeated several times the week after at the soonest.
Any Idea? I have had the same problem with SuSE 9.0. It seems that no matter I how I set "localtime" and set the time via netdate on the internet at bootup it always goes to UTC time. So, if I reboot several times the "date" becomes days behind.
I have wriiten SuSE's Support about this issue and NO HELP! And this may be my last SuSE version. On 9.0 I have had more problems than on any other SuSE distros. Like "time" and my Palm device not being seen. However, hwinfo, /proc and "lsusb" does see it I did dig around in /etc/init.d and found the problem (at least I think so) in /etc/init.d/boot.clock (as I remember). It was a problem with "date -u" -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316
