The time was correct and the date was correct. I was just trying advancing the time by a few minutes to test a program out that uses the time. The date and time shown were correct and in the correct format Regards Ian On Mon 18 August 2003 11:17, Iain Foulds wrote:
There is a problem with changing the date or time in YAST where it always reports an invalid date. The CLI date program works fine so it looks like the problem lies somewhere in YAST/KDE/QT.
You don't state whether the time is shown correct, just date displayed wrong, and how much of difference there is :-)
So, try right clicking on the clock in the KDE taskbar, select 'Show timezone' from the menu, then select your time zone from those listed. Or, click 'Configure Timezone' and chose appropriately. Dunno why, but even when set up through YaST2, KDE sometimes doesn't play nice, which is why the system time is set correct, but KDE doesn't display it right.
Get back in touch if that doesn't work, and let provide more info about the date differences (as well as time reported in the BIOS...)
