I allowed it to fetch all available updates while upgrading. Hardware clock was previously set to local time for compatibility with dual-booting into Windows. Timezone Melbourne/Australia (UTC+11h). Upon booting the upgraded system, the time was ~11h into the future and the hardware clock was now set to UTC. (This was probably due to interpreting the local time from the hardware clock as UTC.) I was able to set it back and run an ntp sync. I haven't checked if it survives a reboot - another bug report (now closed) suggested that this might keep happening. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 12.1 with hardware clock set to local 2. Upgrade to openSUSE 12.2 3. Boot and check the time Actual Results: Hardware clock interpreted as UTC without updating its contents. Expected Results: No change in hardware clock settings. -- 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.
