No problem on either my 10.0 or my 10.3 systems. I'm in the PST/PDT timezone.

10.3 CDT here. Guess my computer just wanted one extra hour to sleep in. Was the first time in over a week that it got turned off for the night, so it probably was pretty pissed at me for waking it up early on a Sunday. :-) -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Use NTP. It's easy to configure (YaST has a module just for NTP configuration) and (on 10.3, at the very least), there's a pre-programmed set of public NTP servers you can enable. (I use my ISP's NTP server to get the lowest latency between me and the time server.)

The nice thing is (and I show it to my Wintendo-using minions) you can alwasy launch the command and get an update if needed.

I do use NTP and have the NTP daemon running constantly. But NTP doesn't contain tzinfo/zones. NTP sets the minutes and seconds. The Hours part of time is set by the tzinfo contained in your computer. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes.

No! NTP sets everything. But remember that it sets up the internal unix time, which is related to UTC time, wich does not have summer/winter shifts. It doesn't touch the timezone data. It's up to the operating system to convert that internal clock to the displayed time. Questions: your bios keeps UTC or local time? And, did you double boot to windows? Both those things could cause your problem. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

True. I guess I oversimplified that explanation... :-)

The only Windows I own are for viewing streetlife outside my house. There are NO Windows software in my house, and thus, no dual booting. :-)

NTP sets _the time_ (relativity notwithstanding). How it's displayed is another matter. Time zones and daylight savings time (including fractional hours) are part of how the date and time are displayed. So why is your time "never right?"

Yeah, I hate having to run NTP when the time should just "be right" .. I must say.. Sometimes it is, but sometimes I get: Setting up the hardware clockselect() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out When booting and trying to set hardware clock.. Not a big deal to me since I use the crack berry to remind me of meetings etc for work.

Twice? Wouldn't you just be an hour early in the fall? Surely for the devout, an extra hour in church would just be seen as a gift, right?

Broncos are not the Cowboys. And this Sunday they play the Redskins. Good day for smash mouth.
