my clocks are weird
hi its me again. i have tried everything to get all 3 clocks to be the same. i set clock in fc4 and than my xp clock was off i wanna say something like 6 hrs. than i got set xp clock to right time nad fc4 clock is off about 6hrs. i changed the bios clock back to right time but its still doing it. is there a reason why they wont work together i am on est in usa if that helps. ive tried utc but at i have tried everything i can think of and everything ive seen on other posts. plz help me
:newbie: |
I'm running FC4 and every time I reboot my clock is 4 hours behind. I have to set it 4 hours ahead every time I start up.
The month, day, and year are always correct. No idea. |
You should take a look at /etc/localtime. Generally speaking, /etc/localtime should be a symbolic link to your current timezone, in /usr/share/zoneinfo. This is mine:
Code:
$ ls -l /etc/localtime |
My /etc/localtime is just some wacky-looking binary.
Though the 'file' command thinks differently: [john@localhost ~]$ file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: timezone data And, it's not a link to anything: [john@localhost ~]$ ls -l /etc/localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1267 Aug 5 21:13 /etc/localtime |
Umm, that's odd. :) I guess Fedora does things differently. Do you have a /usr/share/zoneinfo dir?

Yup. Code:
[john@localhost /usr/share/zoneinfo]$ ls -F |
Try doing like mine and create a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/YOURTIMEZONEOFCHOICEHERE :)

boxerboy--I think we were working on the audit daemon problem and you were able to find the Bugzilla numbers. Anyway, I have no idea if this will help you, but I also had the same clock problem and I went into system settings=>date/time and enabled the network time protocol daemon using the default time networks. I clicked OK and the clock was set perfectly. I hope you are able to find the solution.

Weird.
Did a yum update, and now my date and time are fine between reboots. Go figure. /etc/localtime seems the same as before (it's still a binary file, not a symlink). |
thank you the last time i did /etc/localtimeoh hell i cant reember but ty i will try it again tomorrow sometime and let u know how it went

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:53 PM. |
