All,
I have a dual-boot laptop I brought on trip from Eastern Standard Time to Pacific Standard Time.
Intersting problem.
After getting to Pacific area I went into Yast and changed my timezone appropriately and double checked it was setup to use ntp.
All was good, until yesterday I dual booted into Windows. I didn't pay attention to the time it had, but now I'm back in openSUSE, my clock is off by 4 hours which puts me half way to Japan!
What is the correct way to have my time set so that both linux and windows get it right and I can bounce between timezones as I travel.
The typical advice is to set cmos time to local time, so that Windows doesn't have problems, because Linux can use both settings. But when you change timezones, the cmos clock is changed several hours while the other OS is off, and you will have problem regardless of what OS you boot first and which later: the other one will see a time shift. So when you travel and change the local timezone and double boot you have to leave the cmos at UTC (which doesn't change), and tell windows that the cmos clock is UTC. I understand that Windows-7 can do this, others might not (I do not know which version started to allow this). - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
