http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534816 Summary: During each boot the systemclock is set wrongly (difference of -2 hrs) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tittiatcoke@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-3.1 Firefox/3.5.2 Since already sometime I have the effect that after each boot the system time was set wrongly. It should be e.g. 7pm, but the system would show the time as 5pm. I set the time correctly (even with NTP), but after a reboot the system time has again the same difference of minus 2 hrs. If i do not set the clock correctly and reboot the system, then the difference is suddenly minus 4 hrs (so every boot add minus two hours). After some investigations it seems that the cause is in the boot.clock initscript. During the start of this script the parameter -systz is used for a command inside the startup routine. Once this parameter is removed, everything works as expected and the system time is set correctly with every boot. I do not know what the purpose is of the -systz parameter, but I believe that it might have to do with setting the clock according to the system timezone. Despite that my system is set to localtime (including hw clock), the -systz seems to fall back to GMT. (At least this is the only explanation that I can find) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
