Hi David,
Well, I went into Yast and set 10.3 to UTC. (Checked the lttle box and reset the time after I updated with NTP. That seems like kind of a hack to me though because I have to reset the other OS's also. I run three beside Windoz just to play with them. They were fine, as well as was 10.3 until something happened to 10.3 that kept making it lose 4 hours at every reboot. I've rebooted twice since the change and it appears to be keeping time properly. We will see. This is indeed a strange occurence.
If I am not mistaken this seems to have happened about the time of the last kernel update. The update screwed up my nvidia card/driver which I have to investigate next. Think it could have been the kernel? Remembering now, that the other OS's weren't effected.
I don't think so. It is usually a bad /etc/adjtime file.
What will happen if I boot Windoz? Will just the time in Windoz be wrong, or will it do something to the system clock?
The time will simply be wrong, and nothing will happen unless windows tries to set up the time from internet. This is what I do, by the way. Perhaps you can set your windows system to be either UTC or UTC-4. You may also have problems when windows thinks that the winter/summer hour jump occurs between boots. I mean, you use your computer in summer, when the hour is, say, +2. Then next time you boot windows is winter, the time is +1, and windows sets the clock back one hour. When windows pop up, I just undo the change. I don't remember now, I think I didn't find a way to disable that summer/winter time shift, tell it to keep UTC and stay. Those reasons certainly support the choice of local time for the CMOS clock, but... Linux works better with he other choice :-p No, seriously, openSUSE should work fine with both settings. you could also try: SYSTOHC="no" in /etc/sysconfig/clock, but I don't know when this was introduced. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
