From Yast, I left the "Hardware clock set to UTC" unchecked (so the computer was supposed to have the clock set to local time). After a boot/restart, the system clock was 2 hours ahead. As my timezone is UTC+1 and we are in DST, I suspected that when shutting down, the system saved the clock as local, but loaded it as UTC (and adjusted to local). I set the clock again using Yast, this time checking the "Hardware clock set to UTC", but I still have a wrong system time after a boot/restart: the clock was 1 hour 15 minutes late. After several attempt to set the clock, with always a 1 hour 15 minute fall back of the system clock when I switch on my computer the following day, I discovered that /etc/adjtime has a "-10808.673458" seconds (3 hours ?!?) as systematic drift rate. So I fixed the clock once more; then, as root, I edited the /etc/adjtime file to reset all values to 0. Finally, I saved the system clock to the hardware clock (hwclock --systohc) so that the /etc/adjtime is restored with the right values, but without that ugly "-10808.673458" systematic drift rate (which is now equal to 0). The next day, when I switched on my computer, the system clock was correct. But today, my system clock is 30 minutes late ! (the systematic drift rate value in /etc/adjtime has not changed; still 0) SOMETHING (?) is wrongly modifying my hardware clock; but so far, I don't know what; Sure, I could use a NTP server to set the system clock to the correct time. But definively, there is something wrong in the boot or shutdown process. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
