Hi, a problem has developed on my laptop after some updates to the OS within the last month. It won't stay on time when I shut it down and start it up again.
Each time after starting up the computer I have to reset the time and date. I also uncheck the box where it says update time automatically. But after each startup, the date and time will be off, and the box is rechecked again
Any ideas on how to fix this? I am using OpenSuse 11.1 with kde 3.5.
Thanks
Hello: I don't know about laptops but on desktops this can occur if the battery on the motherboard has run out. Other possibility is that the /etc/adjtime file has been messed up. What I usually do is (as root): # rm /etc/adjtime # ntpdate -q ntp1.ptb.de #(or other time server); shows the difference between your computer's time and the real time # ntpdate ntp1.ptb.de # sets the system time # hwclock --systohc # copies system time to BIOS Cheers, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
