That DAMN clock!
 

I know I'm gonna feel embarrased by the end of this thread but what the hell:

Right... I have always had a problem with the clock when using linux [but never used linux enough to sort it out] and I'm sticking with linux now :) but the clock will not stay at the time I set it. I live in the UK and I have the timezone set to Europe/London but the damn thing seems to jump an hour ahead everytime I reboot the system.... so I'll set it back again... next time I boot up it's an hour forward again. I've tried a few other Tzones but no idea at all... I don't remember having this problem when I tried Suse... only mandrake 7 and mandrake 9.1 :confused:

Any ideas? Or if you just want to make me feel dumb, feel free to throw the answer in my direction :)

Thanks

Did you change the time via the BIOS, or just the software?

just the software...

my BIOS is fine. It's been fine for the past several months... just mandrake :)

thanks

I tell a lie... now it's jumped forward by 2 hours!

The damn thing can't make it's mind up.... help... please

Thanks

nevermind... it's sorted. I scrapped the "adjust date/time" thing and went for LinuxConf.

All sorted I do believe.

i lie again....

just ran the command "date" in console and the time is showing as an hour earlier in there..... poooooop

check the bios or choose a diffrent time zone to satisfy your needs

I have played with them. I have tried different timescales and eventually found something that KDE shows as the right time.. eventually. But now the console shows it differently :confused:
