When I boot up every morning the clock on the desktop doesn’t show the correct time. I go into yast and tell it to sync with the net and everything is ok. I have the Advanced NTP configuration radio button selected for boot time sync.
What does the command “date” print at the CLI? Is it correct?
Is your timezone setting correct? How far is it off?
do you dual boot with another OS?
is you system clock set to local time or universal?

Did you activate any time servers through yast?
/etc/ntp.conf should show some lines similar to those:
##
## Add external Servers using
## # rcntp addserver <yourserver>
##
server ntp.metas.ch iburst
server swisstime.ethz.ch iburst
server thrad.cybernet.ch iburst
Make sure that you pick some servers close to your location. If they are ping’able you may check which one is closest to you.
At my konsole the date command is also off when i booted this morning. The time is off by 2h 17m. The npt.conf file does not look like it got configured. Since the npt.conf isn’t correct why would the computer keep the correct time from the yesterday since I correct it through Yast?

That could be a dead “CMOS battery”. They are starting to disappear
with good flash now.
What I have noticed with the desktop not having the correct time. If linux boots up with no application started at bootup time on the desktop the time is updated and shows the correct time. But if I shutdown with Kontact mail running, therefore at bootup time Kontact mail will start up then. The time is not correct and it might take 5-10min before the time does get changed to the correct time.
