Time disagreement

WilliamS · 08-11-2007, 05:12 PM

I selected local time during config, but when boot finishes, utc shows. After a few minutes, the screen goes black and when kde reappears it shows local time.

/etc/localtime icon is the green ? and is unreadable.

I think I broke something - is there a way of fixing time?

as root, run "pkgtool" and go the setup screen, from there you can choose "timeconfig" and reconfigure your time settings.

Didn't work.

Further info - I get the "black screen of wtf" on connect (dial-up) probably because I put the ip-up shell in /etc/ppp with in it the line:
/usr/sbin/ntpdate ca.pool.ntp.org > /sbin/hwclock -w &

This corrects the time to local, but why does it first start in utc?
