Very strange clock problem

dinolinux · 09-27-2005, 09:16 AM

Hi!

I had a great time with Gentoo until I installed SUSE. All of sudden my clock on Gentoo, SUSE and the BIOS began showing different time. Like it's 12 o'clock. The BIOS clock shows 14:24, the Gentoo clock 11:44 and SUSE 13:15. It's just an example, but it's very strange. I've even changed the battery, but no good. The clock changes at every single bootup.

Help!

while you are waiting for a suse answer try this

if using KDE right hand click the panel and add clock or if you already have clock right hand click it and configure time zones......

2) Mdk also has a mdk control panel so suse must have one.....reset your time zone and your bios if you have to.

me thinks you set the wrong time zone and also configured suse to try to reset to UTC or zulu time for the wrong local time zone.

did you ever get a fix to this? I'm having a similar issue...

I can't really speak to the Gentoo issues but I'm running SuSE. Check /etc/sysconfig/clock and see what your HWCLOCK="?" is set to. This could be is issue since the OS tries to sync the hwclock at shutdown. If your other OS is set differently it will keep fighting the other. Also, are you running ntp?
